How am I supposed to know where I'm going?

(When you're always in my way)

And how am I supposed to know what I'm looking for?

(When all I know are the bullshit lies you fed to me)

As those sweet words of tear jerking love fall from your lips

Your eyes never move to mine

And you're too busy concentrating

Putting your latest falsely felt feeling into proper words

*I'm not your pawn to play

(I'm not gonna be the bishop that slides in to save your ass)

I refuse to be your knight or your rook

(Cause a suit of armor goes against my class)

And don't be surprised when I say I can't be your queen

I wouldn't even cater to a king

How come it feels like someone's trying to hold me up by strings?

(I'm not the weak-minded puppet you thought I was)

Will you ever blink or turn around and see me as you used to?

(Or was I just too blind myself to see I never meant anything to you?)

*

When you've pissed me off

And you're falling over yourself to get back your control of me

Don't pretend to be hurt when you find I've found my own two feet again

I should've said this a long time ago

I never needed you

And that was the last time you'll ever see your sheets messed up

Because of me
