about

I was listening to my friend talk about her on-again, off-again boyfriend and the image came to me that he was jerking her around like a Yo-yo and so I wrote this song.

lyrics

See I miss you
But I don't miss the way that you confuse
Everything in my brain til I'm disused
And it just keeps going down

See I want you
But I don't want your lies posing as truth
Wearing love like it's just a powersuit
And I think I finally know

You don't care
That I need your shoulder
You just want
Me to break when it's over
And you need
Oh, to show your control
When I'm just your emotional Yo-Yo

So I'm back now
Without a why, when or even how
Breaking all my friendly vows
Just to keep alone away

But the truth is
This is more than just a who says
A division of hers and his
And I think I finally know

So, take me for a walk
Like I am just a dog in the park
And I will finally bite right back
I'm not your pretty little girl on a leash no more.
