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 1]
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I wish I could cry like you do every time you look beautiful but I've withdrawn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 2]
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.."
