You always run away from problems
But somehow it seems to work out fine for you
I know you’re scared you might lose the fight
But no one’s trying to win against you
You think you can control everything
But you end up crushing and strangling
You nip the orchid in the bud
Fearing it could be poison ivy
And I’m worth a lot more than you think
I’m more than just a puppet on a string
One day maybe you’ll understand
All you have lost in the end
You don’t want to argue face to face
Cause you fear you’d find out that you’re wrong
It’s clear you need to learn to let go
Cause you can’t always have the last word
You wish we would all be your clones
But it would trigger your deception
When you’d finally realise
That even you can’t reach your ideals
And I’m worth a lot more than you think
I’m more than just a puppet on a string
One day maybe you’ll understand
All you have lost in the end
I’m giving up on you
