My Saving Grace

Jack Barakat ♎ Rachel Woods ♎ Alex Gaskarth ♎ Pete Wentz

Am I a toy to you?
With strings around my fingers,
For you to pull and watch as I collapsed when you want.
The coldest night to me, is a switch that you control.
Tip-toe around your words just to calm you down again.

All I was to him was a toy. A toy he could use to feel loved between girls. A toy that he used too much. A toy that had enough.

I do not own Fall Out Boy, All Time Low, or anyone used in this story.
