No Strings

I used to hate myself when I would let you down
I thought it was my fault, but I know better now
You didn't want me as I was
You wanted someone who would live for your applause
You're free to do what
You wanna do
but I don't have to
I used to care what
You thought of me
but now I see through you and your brass rings
Because I don't dance and I got no strings
I used to think that you knew all the answers cold
But then I blinked and saw the shit beneath the gold
now that I know, I can let go
I can be anyone I want when I'm alone
You're free to do what
You wanna do
but I don't have to
I used to care what
You thought of me
but now I see through you and your brass rings
Because I don't dance and I got no strings
You're free to do what
You wanna do
but I don't have to
I used to care what
You thought of me
but now I see through…
You're free to do what
You wanna do
but I don't have to
I used to care what
You thought of me
but now I see through
You're free to do what
You wanna do
but I don't have to
I used to care what
You thought of me
but now I see through you and your brass rings
'Cause I don't dance and I got no strings
