Puppeteer

[Verse 1]

Standing in the Kitchen

She's crying again

Because you parked your car, in the wrong spot

Standing in the doorway

I'm watching as you both fall apart

Silently you're begging please

I only want to be your little boy

But she needs you to be everything she never got

[Pre-Chorus]

And it's a cycle

Starting so far back

The root goes unseen

It's infecting you, affecting me

[Chorus]

You think I'm finding, I'm finding

You a way out

Point to your pieces all scattered on the ground

And all your tears start to join them and I just can't make a sound

Finding you a way out

'Cause nothing I could do would, ever be enough for you

And I know you're trying but I just can't wait around

[Verse 2]

Miles away from Jersey in the sharp air of the fall

We like to think it's gone, and we're better off now

But it's hidden in there deep, in the way you talk and look at me

'Cause she's a puppeteer, and your limbs have string

[Pre-Chorus]

And you climb into me with your eyes cause her boundaries are so fucked up and it affects me every day

I wish I could cry like you do every time you look beautiful but I've withdrawn

[Chorus]

You think I'm finding, I'm finding

You a way out

Point to your pieces all scattered on the ground

And all your tears start to join them and I just can't make a sound

Cutting you a way out

'Cause nothing I could do would, ever be enough for you

And I know you're trying but I just can't wait around

[Outro]

And we get nowhere

We say the same things

You'll keep trying

You'll get better I'll get drunk

Sit in the hallways

With my roommates

Cry and slur

"I only wanted to make him better.."
