Dance acoustic

You kept me hanging from your fingers

Like a puppet on display

A little guilt, a little pressure

And I'd do whatever you'd say

You had me chasing your approval

Like it was something I could earn

But every bridge I crossed for you

Was another bridge you'd burn

Oh, what a shame

You showed me every trick

Now I know your game

I cut the strings

Now dance for me

Dance for me

Dance for me

You had your turn

Now watch and see

Watch and see

Watch and see

You strung me up

But now I'm taking the lead

I cut the strings

Now you're dancing for me

It's funny, for a know it all,

You really don't know anything at all

I know exactly what you're selling I know exactly how you spin How you turn yourself into the hero Before the story can begin

You thought you owned the narrative Thought you owned the room But I've got all the same tools now And nothing left to lose

Oh, what a shame

You showed me every trick

Now I know your game

I cut the strings

Now dance for me

Dance for me

Dance for me

You had your turn

Now watch and see

Watch and see

Watch and see

You strung me up

But now I'm taking the lead

I cut the strings

Now dance for me

Left foot

Right foot

Everybody move

Smile for the cameras

Give them something to consume

Tell another story

Paint another scene

Watch the masters panic

When the puppet cuts the strings

It'll be tough to get a perfect score

When there's oil on the dance floor

Dance...

Dance...

Dance...

I know where the wires go

Dance...

Dance...

Dance...

You don't run the show

I cut the strings

Now dance for me

Dance for me

Dance for me

You had your turn

Now watch and see

Watch and see

Watch and see

You strung me up

But now I'm taking the lead

I cut the strings

Now dance for me

Keep dancing

Keep dancing

Funny how the tables turn

Keep dancing

Keep dancing

Now it's my turn
