All of the sound is created using the voice.

lyrics

Bye bye funny valentine
should have known that we couldn't be friends
You tried to control me like a toy
Now it's time to cut the puppet from the strings
Love blinded me from the start
Had I known, then I would've been gone
But our love was like a cross fire hurricane
Oh the destruction was strong

You were wrong
You were wrong
You were wrong

I was your puppet on a string
Had to cut the string
Now I'm not your puppet

I've cried for the last time
Our love flowed with tears from the start
A puppeteer a master it was clear
only you commanded my heart
Power had you gripped from the start
My weakness had you hungry for more
I should have know your power was your weakness and your weakness is that you're insecure

You were wrong
You were wrong
You were wrong

I was your puppet on a string
Had to cut the string
Now I'm not your puppet

I'm not your puppet anymore
My strings are broken on the floor
My stitches ragged cut and sore
You can't control me any more
I'm not your puppet anymore
My strings are broken on the floor
My stitches ragged cut and sore
You can't control me any more

I was your puppet on a string
Had to cut the string
Now I'm not your puppet
I was your puppet on a string
Had to cut the string
Now I'm not your puppet
