Puppet on a String Lyrics

I wear a mask, a smile so bright,

Always aiming to please, in others' sight.

I'm a puppet on strings, dancing along,

Lost in the crowd, where do I belong?

I'll learn to say no, set boundaries in place,

Respecting myself, finding my own space.

I'll find my authenticity, in every part,

Unveiling my true self, a work of art.

People Pleaser, my heart's on display,

Searching for validation, day after day.

But beneath the surface, I'm longing to find,

The strength to be true, and leave it all behind.

I bend and I sway, to fit their desires,

Ignoring my own needs, my soul slowly tires.

Afraid of rejection, I sacrifice my voice,

But deep down inside, I'm left with no choice.

I'll find my authenticity, in every part,

Unveiling my true self, a work of art.

People Pleaser, my heart's on display,

Searching for validation, day after day.

But beneath the surface, I'm longing to find,

The strength to be true, and leave it all behind.

Oh, I'll break free from this endless game,

No longer defined by others' acclaim.

I'll embrace my worth, find my own way,

No longer chained by what others may say.

People Pleaser, it's time to break free,

Discover my truth, and let my spirit be.

No more approval-seeking, no more disguise,

I'll honor my soul, and let my spirit rise.
