Rag Doll

I'm trying to figure out
if I'm ever on your mind
I'm trying to figure out
if I'm ever worth your time
I realize how self conscious I sound
but I can't help feeling inferior
and you know I'll never say it out loud
but you know you like being superior

Throw me around like a rag doll
Throw me around like a rag doll

Don't treat me like a child
or think you're better than me
Being walked on has never been my style
and I don't intend for it to be
I'm sick of you trying to change who I am
and pushing me to see how hard I fall
I'm sick of you trying to change who I am
and pushing me to see how hard I fall

You've been ignorant for so long
without knowing what you're doing to me
You don't, you don't get it at all
You only believe what your eyes can see
There's more to us than what your hand can touch
so much more than you bother to look at
Saying you're sorry will never be enough
when I know you'll never take it back

Throw me around like a rag doll
Throw me around like a rag doll

Don't treat me like a child
or think you're better than me
Being walked on has never been my style
and I don't intend for it to be
I'm sick of you trying to change who I am
pushing me to see how hard I fall
I'm sick of you trying to change who I am
pushing me to see how hard I fall

Where do you get off
treating me the way you do
Who do you think you are
killing me the way you do
The nights I spent trying
to find a way to escape
I gave up on fighting
Goodbye is my only escape

Throw me around like a rag doll
Throw me around like a rag doll

Don't treat me like a child
or think you're better than me
Being walked on has never been my style
and I don't intend for it to be

Where do you get off
treating me the way you do
Who do you think you are
killing me the way you do

Don't treat me like a child
or think you're better than me
Being walked on has never been my style
and I don't intend for it to be
I'm sick of you trying to change who I am
pushing me to see how hard I fall
I'm sick of you trying to change who I am
pushing me to see how hard I fall

Don't treat me like a child
or think you're better than me
Being walked on has never been my style
and I don't intend for it to be
I'm sick of you trying to change who I am
pushing me to see how hard I fall
I'm sick of you trying to change who I am
pushing me to see how hard I fall

Throw me around like a rag doll
Throw me around like a rag doll

Winner Take All

In this picture of quiet innocence
I cry to make it hurt less
Do you want the truth
unadorned from me to you?
Every heart knows defeat
and when it can't take the heat

Sometimes it all feels like a lose-lose situation
so hard to find a deep appreciation
for this shit you pull over my head
hoping, praying I never find it
That little box of lines you call you heart
You can't tell the truth and lies apart

Don't fool yourself, you're no Casanova
and it takes a bitch to know one
I bend until I start to crack
I keep my back bending until I snap
Wipe away your exaggerated tears
You'll find no sympathy here

Sometimes it all feels like a lose-lose situation
so hard to find a deep appreciation
for this shit you pull over my head
hoping, praying I never find it
That little box of lines you call your heart
You can't tell the truth and lies apart

Don't tell me it's all my fault
because you don't know me at all
You think I'm up when I'm down
Your twisted words keep me upside down
You think I'm up when I'm down
Your twisted words keep me upside down

Sometimes it all feels like a lose-lose situation
so hard to find a deep appreciation
for this shit you pull over my head
hoping, praying I never find it
That little box of lines you call your heart
You can't tell the truth and lies apart

Sometimes it all feels like a lose-lose situation
(You think I'm up when I'm down)
so hard to find a deep appreciation
(Your twisted words keep me upside down)
for this shit you pull over my head
(You think I'm up when I'm down)
hoping, praying I never find it
(Your twisted words keep me upside down)
That little box of lines you call your heart
(You think I'm up when I'm down)
You can't tell the truth and lies apart
(Your twisted words keep me upside down)

You think I'm up when I'm down
Your twisted words keep me upside down
You think I'm up when I'm down
Your twisted words keep me upside down
You think I'm up when I'm down
Your twisted words keep me upside down

The Monster Within

Everybody gather 'round
Take a look at the beast, the hound
Get a glimpse of the monster within
at a wolf inside sheep's clothing
Or maybe it's just a scared little girl
trying to find her place in your world

Don't be misled by the triviality
of everything you see
I don't spend time with you
just to hear what I do wrong
I wear my heart outside my chest
It's my one and only weakness
I've spent my whole life
trying not to fall

Do you remember the day we met?
You became my safety net
but lately something's not right
and you've started picking fights
so I gave up relying on love
to get me through me when times got rough

Don't be misled by the triviality
of everything you see
I don't spend time with you
just to hear what I do wrong
I wear my heart outside my chest
It's my one and only weakness
I've spent my whole life
trying not to fall

Do you remember all the good times
back when things were better than fine
I find myself reminiscing
before you put so much distance between us
What do you want me to say?
What more can I say?
It won't make any difference
I've learned to look after myself

Don't be misled by the triviality
of everything you see
I don't spend time with you
just to hear what I do wrong
I wear my heart outside my chest
It's my one and only weakness
I've spend my whole life
learning how to fly

Puppet

Pull my strings to make me speak
and while you're at it
why don't you tell me what to think
I've got my own words
Don't take them away from me
to complete your perfect world

I hate what I've become
what you turned me into
I hate what you've become
Was it not good enough
to give you everything I had?
It must not have been enough

I put up with so much crap
until I just couldn't deal
You fell and I took the rap
It's not my fault
you couldn't deal with anything
My leaving is all your fault

I hate what I've become
what you turned me into
I hate what you've become
Was it not good enough
to give you everything I had?
It must not have been enough

Where did you go?
Who are you now?
Is there nothing left to do
but say goodbye
Say we gave it a shot
but we just don't have the fight

I hate what I've become
what you turned me into
I hate what you've become

I hate what I've become
what you turned me into
I hate what you've become
Was it not good enough
to give you everything I had?
It must not have been enough

Pull my strings
Pull my strings
Pull my strings
to make me speak
