lyrics

Verse 1:

They all hang around you
Like you’ve got the answer
But I know that you don’t
Your lies spread right through them
And grow like a cancer
It’s fueling your ego

Verse 2:

You walk down the halls
Ruling it all
Your clique at your side
All vanity and pride
They all fell in line
Following every sign
Never seeing what’s inside

Chorus:

You’re playing puppeteer
You’re pulling the strings
The people in your life are just your playthings
You do it all out of fear
Cause you’re the master puppeteer

Post-Chorus:

They’re not really your friends
Just a means to an end
You think that you’re playing them
But you’re the one that’s being played

Verse 3:

You put on a mask
With a smile on your face
Hidden in disguise
And they all believed
While you lied and deceived
Every single line

Verse 4:

You laugh and you flirt
Gossip and hurt
Insult and blame
All these petty games
And they laughed with you
Hiding all the pain
Hiding all the pain

Chorus:

You’re playing puppeteer
You’re pulling the strings
The people in your life are just your playthings
You do it all out of fear
Cause you’re the master puppeteer

Post-Chorus:

They’re not really your friends
Just a means to an end
You think that you’re playing them
But you’re the one that’s being played

Bridge:

Someday you will see
That what you want in your life
Isn’t what you need
And everyone around you knows
That you will end up all alone

Chorus:

You’re playing puppeteer
You’re pulling the strings
The people in your life are just your playthings
You do it all out of fear
Cause you’re the master puppeteer

Post-Chorus:

They’re not really your friends
Just a means to an end
You think that you’re playing them
But you’re the one that’s being played
