I feel like a puppet on a string Doin' dances in the spotlight Give me the words I need to sing Cause I just can't seem to get 'em right You've got it all worked out And you don't hesitate to show it to me But lean in and take a closer look Tell me what do you see I guess that I can't live up to your standards Sorry to waste your time I'm sure that you can do so much better So step up to the line I feel like I can't be what you deem To be worthy of your energy But you're so misanthropic it seems You might need a little therapy I know it's not personal Your just fed up and came to lashing out Just take a chance More than a glance Oh it's not something to be angry about I guess that I can't live up to your standards Sorry to waste your time I'm sure that you can do so much better So step up to the line It's your time Baby it's time to shine I Know why You shine bright I Know why You shine bright
