Sunflower Bean - Puppet Strings Lyrics

Sunflower Bean Lyrics

"Puppet Strings"

Who holds the puppet strings to my heart?
Who holds the puppet strings to my heart?
Who holds the puppet strings to my heart?
At the end of the day when it's getting dark

I gave 'em to you, now use it
I gave 'em to you, don't abuse it
Oh

I used to have things but I threw them away
I used to have love but I threw it away
I used to have dreams but I threw them away
At the end of the day I just threw them away

I gave 'em to you, now use it
That box is for you, don't abuse it
Oh yeah
Oh yeah

What do you do at the end of the day?
Gave you my heart and you walked away
Speaking so soft when you're calling my name
Gave you my heart and you walked away

I had a wish and I threw it away
I made a wish at the end of the day
I made a wish on a shooting star
It was a satellite and it was heading far

Everything now is synthetic
Your life is a lie, don't forget it
Oh yeah
Oh yeah

What do you do at the end of the day?
Gave you my heart and you walked away
Speaking so soft when you're calling my name
Gave you my heart and you walked away

What do you do at the end of the day?
Well I gave you my heart and you walked away, oh you
Speaking so soft when you're calling my name
What do you do at the end of the day?

"The lyrics to this song are a combination of misheard Nirvana lyrics that I was mishearing since I was a little kid. It was almost like a little art piece to assemble them into a coherent song. It's not really a love song and it's not really a breakup song, it's sort of an ode to the feelings and grey areas in between." - Nick Kivlen.
