Verse 1:

I have to keep smiling
Hope the world can not see my tears

Verse 2:

I have to keep piling
Away in a box all my regrets and fears

Pre-chorus:

I come alive on the stage every single day
But even then I can never ever have my way
Oh I'm not even living yet I wanna die
I wanna die...

Chorus:

Well I am a broken puppet
You're the puppeteer from hell
You just pull on my strings
Cuz that's all I've got left

I've got a limb missing
And an ear that fell
But you'll keep on pulling (x3)
Until there's nothing left

Verse 3:

You lock me up in a box
Just so I can't see your side of the world

Verse 4:

You put me under a lock
Just so I can't get away from your hold

Pre-chorus:

I go back to being nothing every single night
I know I can't escape even if I try with all my might
Oh I'm not even living yet I wanna die...
I wanna die...

Chorus:

Well I am a broken puppet
You're the puppeteer from hell
You just pull on my strings
Cuz that's all I've got left

I've got a hand missing
And a foot that fell
But you'll keep on pulling (x3)
Until there's nothing left

Bridge:

Chipped paint and rusty limbs
Face set in a crooked smile
I've got tangled strings
That get pulled all the while

Chorus:

Well I am a broken puppet
You're the puppeteer from hell
You just pull on my strings
Cuz that's all I've got left

I've got a heart missing
And an eye that fell
But you'll keep on pulling (x3)
Until there's nothing left

Breakdown:

Until there's nothing left.
