Puppet on a String

I'm fin'lly tired of running away.
It's time to fin'lly face my fate.
Not forever, I can be scared.
Need to fight unafraid.

I need to fin'lly follow my heart.
So done of playing somebody's part.
It's time for me to be myself.
Beat the man in my head.

PRE-CHORUS:
Every note of this song
I had kept for oh so long.
Now that I've let it all go loose
I hope that no one ever gets confused.

CHORUS:
I'm not a puppet on a string.
I have a heart like yours that beats and bleeds.
If you see me crying, wipe my tears.
I'm a man who's facing all his fears.
From now on, there'll be no alibis.
It's all truth and there'll be no more lies.
Past is past. I'll never look behind.
Now if only fate can be so kind...

I fin'lly have the courage to brave
every hindrance blocking my way.
I can no more sit here and wait.
Must be strong, unafraid.

More and more, I'm losing my breath.
Every second, I'm cheating my death.
All these monsters under my bed.
They are just in my head.

PRE-CHORUS.
CHORUS.

There'll be no need to hurry.
I'll only have myself to carry.
There'll be zero things for me to worry.
My whole world won't be so heavy.
Time and time, I'll make mistakes
but promise I won't hesitate.
I will try and try even if I fail
'coz that's how you win.

CHORUS (2x).
