Playing With Strings Lyrics by ​notstellar

Bipolar

2019

(I'm just calling to say, I love you)

You are the thing that I wanted
Wouldn't give it up for nothing
I walked straight into your trap

Yeah you started playing games
You started tying all the strings
I thought I was being saved
But you just wanted me to sink
Said you loved me with emotion
Drowning me inside your ocean
But all those waves were fake
You just played me to be safe

Saving your self is all you care about
Lying to make it out
You'd drop me without a doubt
Even though I cared
I was not aware

There you were playing with all the strings of my tomorrow
It was love I could borrow
Now you've taken it back
There you were playing with all the strings of my tomorrow
But you left me alone
On an untaken path

It's clear now when I look back
I'ma puppet to your magic cat
You played me like I was a jack
With an ace, you had in your stack
I wish I was better at cards
Cuz maybe it would be less hard
But now I have a broken heart
I think you tore the strings apart

Saving your self is all you care about
Lying to make it out
You'd drop me without a doubt
Even though I cared
I was not aware

There you were playing with all the strings of my tomorrow
It was love I could borrow
Now you've taken it back
There you were playing with all the strings of my tomorrow
But you left me alone
On an untaken path

I fell in your web like a catch
But now you say no strings attached
You shattered my heart like glass
While you just left me in the past
You left in the past

Saving your self is all you care about
Lying to make it out
You'd drop me without a doubt
Even though I cared
I was not aware

There you were playing with all the strings of my tomorrow
It was love I could borrow
Now you've taken it back
