All Strings Attached

Verse 1

I swore I cut the wires clean

Left your shadow in the smoke machine

Cold glass nights, red lipstick stain

Told myself I’d never crawl back again

But your voice hits low like a loaded gun

One look and my self-control comes undone

Every exit sign turns into your door

I leave for freedom, end up wanting more

Pre-Chorus

You don’t beg, you don’t chase

You just tilt your head and I fall into place

God, I hate the way you know

Exactly how far to pull the rope

Chorus

No matter how much I pull away

You pull me back right where you want me

I try to stand on my own two feet

But to you I’m your puppet on a string, honey

Those blue eyes give subtle commands

Silent words I always understand

One look and my heartbeat crashes

Every line blurred, all strings attached

Post-Chorus

All strings attached

All strings attached

I cut one loose

You tie me back

Verse 2

You wear danger like a tailored suit

Cool hands, clean lies, expensive truth

I know better, still I stay

Like a moth addicted to the flame

You touch my mind before my skin

And somehow that’s the deadliest thing

You never force it, never fight

You just look at me and I rewrite my life

Pre-Chorus

You move slow like you already know

I’ll come running when you let me go

And damn you for being right

Every single time

Chorus

No matter how much I pull away

You pull me back right where you want me

I try to stand on my own two feet

But to you I’m your puppet on a string, honey

Those blue eyes give subtle commands

Silent words I always understand

One look and my heartbeat crashes

Every line blurred, all strings attached

Bridge

Maybe I love the danger

Maybe I love the fall

Maybe the worst part is

You don’t even try at all

You just stand there

King of the quiet control

And I hand you every fractured piece

Like you already own my soul

Final Chorus

No matter how hard I run away

Your gravity drags me under softly

I say your name like a bad habit

Like smoke in expensive whisky

Those blue eyes lock onto mine

And suddenly every warning dies

I should hate you, God, I’ve tried it

But you make obsession look so damn inviting

Outro

All strings attached

No clean escape from that

You pull once

And I come right back.
