marionette

Every time I give up
After the slightest bit of pushback
I leave you in the dark
Disappear and never come back
Something always resurrects me
Put on my shoes
Pick up the brush, do this thing I always do
You gotta
Right there, come here and let me fix it

But I think I can
But I think I can
If you just let me change you
I promise I won't break you
But I think I can
But I think I can
I swear that I can fix you
And everyone will love you again, again, again

And I know you feel like nothing sometimes
And I just want to make you smile
And you want to become someone else
And I want to turn you into something else
I'll mold you
I can make you be like me
And then you'll understand me
Then the world will understand you

But I think I can
But I think I can
If you just let me change you
I promise I won't break you
But I think I can
But I think I can
I swear that I can fix you
And everyone will love you again, again, again

And you break into pieces in my hands
But I put you back together
And I break you again
'Cause I'm not good at molding
And I'm not good at making you who you should be
I'll try again
Someday I'll get it

But I think I can
But I think I can
If you just let me change you
I promise I won't break you
But I think I can
But I think I can
I swear that I can fix you
And everyone will love you again, again, again
