Calliope

Lyrics

[Pre-Chrous] I’m a puppet of desire Master of denial But you asked me with a smile Just to wait a while But I pushed too hard to know Pushed the envelope Your patience growing cold I’m a puppet of desire Master of denial But you asked me with a smile Just be patient, child But I pushed too hard to know I pushed to let it go [Chorus] When you said to take it slow All I heard was "I still love you" When you said "You’re too close" All I heard was "I still want you" And when you said you'd go All I heard was "I still love you" You seem to be getting through my skull In loss and leaving It's not easy [Pre-Chrous] I’m a puppet of desire Master of denial But you asked me with a smile Just to wait a while But I pushed too hard to know My patience growing cold I’m a puppet of desire Master of denial But you asked me with a smile Just be patient, child But I pushed too hard to know I pushed to let it go [Chorus] When you said to take it slow All I heard was "I still love you" When you said "You’re too close" All I heard was "I still want you" And when you said you'd go All I heard was "I still love you" Couldn't seem to get it through my skull ‘Cause I’m a puppet of desire Caught inside the wire I’m a puppet of desire I’m a master of denial I’m a puppet of desire Caught inside the fire I’m a master of your own I pushed and let you go
