You must be Pandora's box
The way you've got my hope locked up
Let it go, let it go, let it go
And hope is a waste of time
And god, how you've wasted mine
How many times do I gotta be a fool until I get over you?
No more wasting shooting stars on you
Not a single wish ever came true
I held my breath til I was blue
Hoping you decide to love me soon
I'd rather be lonely
Don't play with my heartstrings
Cause I deserve more
And you know it
Be straightforward
This ain't show biz
Rather be stranded
Than leave this open ended
Flirt, walk away
Come back, stupid game
I don't want to play
If you wanted me I wouldn't be confused
But I like to ignore the truth
Hanging on by a thread
Hope's got me chained to the bed
I'm craving your attention
Does that make me desperate
You're a lantern in the sky
You got me mesmerized
Your gravity's too strong, so I get strung along
And I scream let me go
Release me, you're so cold
You got the power, upper hand
I'd rather be lonely
Don't play with my heartstrings
Cause I deserve more
And you know it
Be straightforward
This ain't show biz
Rather be stranded
Than leave this open ended
Flirt, walk away
Come back, stupid game
I don't want to play
I know I deserve someone who says I matter
But no matter what I do you're the one that I'm after
Touch me, I might crumble
Like a flaw, you're fatal
So don't call me baby
If I'm only a maybe
I should be a for sure thing
How'd I forget, I'm a queen
Blind devotion didn't pay
So here's to giving up on hoping you'll change
You have made a mistake
If you thought I'd sit around and wait
I'd rather be lonely
Don't play with my heartstrings
Cause I deserve more
And you know it
Be straightforward
This ain't show biz
Rather be stranded
Than leave this open ended
Flirt, walk away
Come back, stupid game
I don't want to play
