[Verse 1]
A heart on fire,
A step this way and that,
A heart full of fire,
Exit neither this way nor that,
Watch me, watch me sing,
Take a step in place like that,
Watch me swallow my pride,
I'll take it this way or that
[Pre-chorus]
I dont know how much more I can take,
There's only so many dances I can fake
[Chorus]
Take a look in the mirror, pick apart all you know,
Maybe you'll find a way to step out of place,
Sing the tune, mime the words, your voice so low,
Pushed back into place by wires and ropes,
Its getting a little bit more than I can stand, a game of toys, dolls, anger and woe,
At least I know myself, or so I think,
As you pull my strings, do you know?
As you pull my heartstrings, what could you know?
[Verse 2]
A heart so sick, its sad to see,
A step to breathe is what I need,
A heart burning, its blinding to see,
Stay in line, a lesson learned long ago,
Watch me break sway these chains,
And step away from observant eyes,
Watch me sing and feel it so strong,
I'll hope to look back on it with pride and joy
[Chorus] x2
Take a look in the mirror, pick apart all you know,
Maybe you'll find a way to step out of place,
Sing the tune, mime the words, your voice so low,
Pushed back into place by wires and ropes,
Its getting a little bit more than I can stand, a game of toys, dolls, anger and woe,
At least I know myself, or so I think,
As you pull my strings, do you know?
As you pull my heartstrings, what could you know?
Did you know?
[Bridge]
Sing and sing loud,
Never again a mime nor puppet,
Wires cut in act so bold,
Sing and dance, never stop for a crowd,
Pull me close, heartstrings tied together,
As flowers grow in my chest,
Pull me close, its a beautiful sight,
With closed eyes, with little else I know,
Never again,
Never told where to go,
Never again,
Never told who controls my heart and mirror.
