Like I Did

You just want to be wanted Lie to yourself and say that you want this Tell yourself you're wanting to scream But the silence is louder than you'll ever be No one else is gonna put up with you like I did Took advantage of the fact that I truly cared I was your little puppet on a string Played with my head and you sucked the light out of me You did so little, but I feel so much Why should I care 'bout someone who left us Don't mean to dwell cause it only hurts me Tried to forget you, but i'll never be free You were my dream Now you're just a memory No one else is gonna put up with you like I did Took advantage of the fact that I truly cared I was your little puppet on a string And I'm too tired to do this all over again Even though I'm still sinkin' I'd rather drown Than have you pull me back out to your shore Played with my head but I don't really care anymore I try to escape but do I really wanna leave Something still screams to run back, my legs won't let me Speakers pierce my ears Drowning out all that I know Your ghost still haunts me everywhere I go No one else is gonna put up with you like I did Took advantage of the fact that I truly cared I was your little puppet on a string Could've seen our tomorrow But I got it all wrong Shoulda' listened to my head When it told me to run You tortured my feelings til I broke Should've opened my eyes 'fore we had this story unfold
