Strings in her hands

She smiles with sugar on her tongue,

But her words cut deeper when the night is suppose to be young.

Building walls where love should grow,

Keeps him trapped, but he’ll never know.

Every step he takes, she pulls him back,

Tied to her fears, caught in her trap.

She whispers lies, poisons the truth,

Steals the future that is meant for you.

She’s got strings in her hands, but won’t let him stand,

Keeps him locked in the shadow of her traps.

Tears down your name, always feeding off the pain,

Won’t let her son escape the chains.

But love can’t breathe where control runs deep,

And her silence is the secret she keeps.

You reach for him, but she slams the door,

Turns his heart into a civil war.

Promises fade, trust breaks thin, ice thats threatening to break within.

Every battle she swears she’ll win.

She twists the story, makes him doubt,

Spins her web, theres no way out.

But the truth is louder than her cries,

Love survives when the mask finally dies.

She’s got strings in her hands, she won’t let him stand,

Keeps him locked in the shadow of her traps.

Tears down your name, feeds off the pain,

Won’t let her son ever escape the chains.

But love can’t breathe where control runs deep,

And her silence is the secret she swears she will keep.

Bridge

One day the mirror will break,

He’ll see the cost of her mistakes.

The fostered fire, the stolen years,

That Can’t erase the scars of fear.

She had the strings in her hands, but they slip through like water and sand,

He’s breaking free, learning how to stand.

You can burn down a bridge, but love still remains,

He’ll find his way back through the flames.

No chains survive where the truth runs deep,

Love is the secret he’ll keep.
