it takes a big facade to hide the cracks

you pulled the strings
like shoe laces
i had come undone
like a perfectly wrapped bow
on a present
i had only just won

then you changed your mind
took it back
shoved in my face
what i already knew i lacked
only more
it was you
only less
and i was through

i pulled the strings
a thick rope to cope
nothing more
than a noose
nothing less
and i was through

looking back
i saw angel wings
looking now
those were devilish things
i thought i knew
what i had
till you pulled my strings
dropped the curtains
and exposed my bad
