[Verse 1]
You've pulled a few strings
Stolen my ideas
Taken my kindness for granted
You're not worth all the tears
I see you're slipping stitches
Your setup so passé
It's an easy victory for me
When your work's so cliché
[Pre-Chorus]
Nobody stands a chance here in my way
Is it so wrong to be selfish for a change?
Nobody stands a chance here in my way
Is it so wrong to be selfish today?
[Chorus]
Cut the cord
Mark the pins
You're not bad at darning, darling
But that doesn't mean anything
Cut the cord
And mark the pins
You're not bad at what you do
But that doesn't mean a thing
[Verse 2]
Seamless needlework
Tailoring the perfect trim
I've got so much work to do
Where on earth do I begin?
Fearless infantry
Stand behind me in my stride
Stopping's not an option
When your goals are anything like mine
You've put up a fight
Tearing at the inseam
Watching everything falling apart
Won't keep me from my dream
[Pre-Chorus]
Nobody stands a chance here in my way
Is it so wrong to be selfish for a change?
Nobody stands a chance here in my way
Is it so wrong to be selfish today?
[Chorus]
Cut the cord
Mark the pins
You're not bad at darning, darling
But that doesn't mean anything
Cut the cord
And mark the pins
You're not bad at what you do
But that doesn't mean
Cut the cord
Mark the pins
You're not bad at darning, darling
But that doesn't mean anything
Cut the cord
And mark the pins
You're not bad at what you do
But that doesn't mean a thing
