On a String

Dawn Richard


I’m bending breaking scenes, scene by scene
I’m stretching, tearing from underneath
On tip-toe, and all the type of way that I won’t let me fall
Running from something, I’m aiming from something
Fighting for me
It seems I’m living for your dream
I never complain, I was ok hanging on your string
Ooo oh your string
You gave me a stage, but you stole the lead
Said I would be much better from behind the scenes
Living on your string
I’m off your string

Cut it loose
I won’t live
Cut it loose
On your string
Cut it loose
Cut it loose
I’m off your string

I did what you pleased, rolling in the deep
You moved, I followed the story of me
Tell you waht I’ll do
What I gotta do to get away from you
Even though it hurts, the ṗain will stop soon

It seems I’m living for your dream
I never complain, I was ok hanging on your string
I’m on your string
You gave me a stage, but you stole the lead
Said I would be much better from behind the scenes
I’m on your string
I’m off your string

Cut it loose
I won’t live
Cut it loose
On your string
Cut it loose
Cut it loose
I’m off your string
Cut it loose
I won’t live
Cut it loose
On your string
Cut it loose
Cut it loose
I’m off your string

I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I
I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I
