No Strings

(albüm: The Near Future - 2014)

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 and your brass rings
Cuz I don't dance and I've got no strings
