🎵 “Strings Attached” 🎵 🫶🏼 Lysten

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I was born with my own mind, my own fire, my own name, But every time I start to fly, they pull me back again. Promises wrapped in dollar signs, love that comes with chains, “You can have the world, my dear—if you play our game.” [Pre-Chorus] They call it caring, I call it control, They buy the house, then they own my soul. One hand lifts me, the other one holds, I’m tired of being bought and sold. [Chorus] Don’t need your castle if it comes with walls, Don’t need your safety if I can’t fall. You say it’s love, but it feels like traps, I’m done living life with strings attached. Yeah, I’m done living life with strings attached. [Verse 2] He said, “You can have it all—just lose your man.” Eighteen years of real love, you’ll never understand. You said Florida’s a phase, that I should come home, But home’s not a prison with a gilded tone. [Pre-Chorus] I’m not a child, I’m forty-one, I’m tired of faking peace to keep the funds. You change your mind like the setting sun, And I’m the one left coming undone. [Chorus] Don’t need your castle if it comes with walls, Don’t need your safety if I can’t fall. You say it’s love, but it feels like traps, I’m done living life with strings attached. Yeah, I’m done living life with strings attached. [Bridge] Every “I’m proud of you” turns on a dime, Every “we’ll help you” comes with a line. I’m choking on the price of your pride, But I still want peace, I still want time. [Final Chorus / Outro] I’ll build my life from the ground with scars, No silver leash, no borrowed stars. If love’s a deal, I’ll take it back— ’Cause I’m done, I’m free, no strings attached. Yeah, I’m done, I’m free—no strings attached.
