I gave you my heart
I gave you my all
You tore me apart
You brought my fall

I sit around dreaming of October
When the falling leaves brought promise of your kiss
Now I wander through December
The cold wind blows reminders of the love that I missed
I wait
I stare
Debate
Despair

I'm gnawing at my strings
I can't seem to get away
You puppet me around
On dreams of yesterday
Why won't you let me go?
Cut away the lies
Please just set me free
So I can spread my wings and fly away

What did I do
To make you turn away?
I thought your love was true
Now I think of yesterday

I sit around remembering November
When your love was bittersweet and you were a mystery
Now I lay down in December
Falling to sleep remembering ancient history
I wait
I plead
I quell
my need

I'm gnawing at my strings
I can't seem to get away
You puppet me around
On dreams of yesterday
Why won't you let me go?
Cut away the lies
Please just set me free
So I can spread my wings and fly away

I know your ignoring me but I want you to know
If it weren't for you I would have somewhere to go
I never felt the pain or love you'd given me before
I don't regret meeting you, but I won't love you anymore

I'm gnawing at my strings
I can't seem to get away
You puppet me around
On dreams of yesterday
Why won't you let me go?
Cut away the lies
Please just set me free
So I can spread my wings and fly away
fly away

I'll be free
