No Strings

I used to hate myself

When I would let you down

I thought it was my fault,

But I know better now

You didn't want

Me as I was

You wanted someone

Who would live for your applause

You're free to do what

You want to do but I don't have to

I used to care what

You thought of me but now I see through

You and your brass rings

Cuz I don't dance and I've got no strings

I used to think that

You knew all the answers cold

But then I blinked

And saw the shit beneath the gold

Now that I know,

I can let go

I can be anyone

I want when I'm alone

You're free to do what

You want to do but I don't have to

I used to care what

You thought of me but now I see through

You and your brass rings

Cuz I don't dance and I've got no strings

You're free to do what

You want to do but I don't have to

I used to care what

You thought of me but now I see through

You're free to do what

You want to do but I don't have to

I used to care what

You thought of me but now I see through

You're free to do what

You want to do but I don't have to

I used to care what

You thought of me but now I see through

You and your brass rings

Cuz I don't dance and I've got no strings
