Marionette

You are a broken marionette
Never able to walk on your own
He's always called the shots
Never even gave you time alone

He whispers his lies to fool you
So he can string you along
Promising you beauty and riches
Not saying that all of it was wrong

The pearl necklace he gave you
And the diamonds in your ears
The presents and the promises
Are all things you should fear

Can you escape his manipulation
Because darling, that's all it is
This thing was never about love
It was all just a game of his

A game called Power
That's just the sad truth
He wanted to be the master
So he took away your youth

And when the dust settles
He'll leave you all alone
Wishing on a single star
Wishing that you had known
