String Theory

"No strings attached
Is all you ask
But you've got your strings in me
My heart gets patched
You pull it back
And prove my string theory

There've been times
I've said it too
Never thought just what it meant
These little lines
Link me to you
They trap me like cement

Every sigh
And every touch
You stitch them through my skin
'Cross my thigh
Want you so much
With stitches, tears begin

No strings attached
Is all you ask
But you've got your strings in me
My heart gets patched
You pull it back
And prove my string theory

Bind me tight
By accident
Caught in your strings again
The more I fight
The less it meant
Attachment is my sin

Your strings in me
And mine all spread
But who has strings in you
You are free
We're bound in red
Tied up in threads so true.

No strings attached
Is all you ask
When you prove my string theory"
