I'm Pulling the Strings

by Cathy   Mar 6, 2007


I'm pulling the strings now how do you feel
Being in my spot, it doesn't feel so real
Remember when you had me begging and crying at your door
All you did was laugh and fully ignore

Well now it's time for me to spread a smile on my face
And now its time for me to be the one to chase
I'm changing all my numbers; if you want to talk you know where I am
You want me to listen and try to understand

Well where were you when I needed a friend?
The father of my kids and you bailed once again
Now you want to act as if you did nothing wrong
Now that I'm no longer weak and finally grew strong

What happened? Did you finally open up your eyes?
And realize I wasn't going to keep falling for your lies
Does it scare u when I say I'm finally moving on?
Does it make you feel like you've lost and I'm the one who won

Well it makes me feel like an I'm an absolute new girl
And I am never living again in that fantasy world
I'm never going to believe that you would finally change
When you I have been for five months now estranged

I'm changing all my numbers; you want to see the kids
Well you know what you need to do, if you don't want things to be like this
You need to be a father stop acting like a child
Ive been waiting for you to grow up this whole while

But waiting on you is not the way I want to live
I gave you an ultimatum and you knew what you had to give
It wasn't money or fancy gifts, it was your attention and love to us
But once again to much to handle, you just made a big fuss

Well maybe you'll like me being with another man
Maybe you'll like the kids without their father again
Maybe you'll like when you don't have to see us in your view
Maybe you'll enjoy not having the family you threw

Or maybe you'll like missing out on their lives
Maybe you'll like seeing me becoming someone else's wife
Maybe you'll like seeing another man raise your kids
And when you do maybe you will miss

Maybe you'll look back and see what you put first
And maybe for the first time you will be the one hurt
And when you finally see that you threw away 4 people who loved you
You'll finally regret everything you use to do

It's sad that it takes this much to get through to you
But I can't let you put me through everything you do
So I'm now the one pulling on the springs
So lets just see what being in control will bring
