Why are you pretending
I know I'm just a pawn
Wouldn't it be easier
To go where you belong

But you keep up your act
Oh you
You mastered the part
But I see through your glass
I know you have an iron heart

You do your dance
I hold applause
Make me laugh
And I'm putty in palm
You played with me
For far too long
You got everything you wanted
I got stuck writing another sad song

Why the hell do you want me now
When you did want me then
Is it some sort of a power trip
Am I just a piece of your plan

I spent years out there defending
All your broken parts
You're too old to be victim
And I'm too young to guide to heart

You do your dance
I hold applause
Make me laugh
And I'm putty in palm
You played with me
For far too long
You got everything you wanted
I got stuck writing another sad song
Another sad song

Hush little baby
Don't say a word
Left me once before
Now I want you gone for good

Hush little baby
Run while you can
Barely a person
You'll never be a man

You do your dance
I hold applause
Make me laugh
And I'm putty in palm
You played with me
For far too long
You got everything you wanted
You got everything you wanted
And I'm just stuck writing this song
Another sad song
