You say it won’t happen again
You say you can’t be tamed
But I know the way you behave
And I’m not one to blame
You say “Please forgive me
“I just lost my head”
So eager to please when you’re on your knees
You should stick to keeping promises instead
Hiding behind the traces of shame in your eyes
I know the truth, but still I ask for lies
We’re playing tug-of-war
What are we playing for?
When you’ve got me holding the leash
Don’t make me impose control
I’m not responsible
You’re not my masterpiece
You’re not my masterpiece
You’re a work in progress
You’re looking to improve
But if you want to be trained, don’t give me the reins
‘Cause I can’t even make myself move
I can’t be your conscience
Whispering in your ear
If you only knew how to benefit you
Your sorrow would feel more sincere
There comes a point when I won’t forgive anymore
Don’t be surprised when you come home to find
That I’ve locked the door
We’re playing tug-of-war
What are we playing for?
When you’ve got me holding the leash
Don’t make me impose control
I'm not responsible
You’re not my masterpiece
You’re not my masterpiece
Woah, oh
Yeah, yeah, yeah
We’re playing tug-of-war
What are we playing for?
When you’ve got me holding the leash
Don’t make me impose control
I’m not responsible
You’re not my masterpiece
We’re playing tug-of-war
What are we playing for?
When you’ve got me holding the leash
Don’t make me impose control
I’m not responsible
You’re not my masterpiece
You’re not my masterpiece
