Taking the thick and the thin Afraid to complain, no use complaining You know your heart's on a string Hiding the feelings away Scared to offend, dreading the ending You know your heart's on a string Try to pretend, try to pretend, you're in control Try to deny, try to deny, you're under control Waiting patiently through, the lack of affection returning the silence Don't show your heart's on a string Staying alone in the evening, waiting for fate & hating the weakness Don't show your hearts on a string Try to pretend, try to pretend, you're in control Try to deny, try to deny, you're under control Heart on a string taking care not to break it Heart on a string taking care not to shake it Heart on a string just a twist it could tear you apart Heart on a string taking care not to break it Heart on a string so aware not to shake it Heart on a string just a twist it could tear it apart You won't complain You won't complain You won't complain You'll take, you'll take the thick and the thin You'll take, you'll take the thick and the thin It's only a twist, only a twist and it's gone Only a twist, only a twist, only a twist, only a twist and you're gone Heart on a string so aware not to break it Heart on a string so aware not to shake it Heart on a string just a twist it could tear you apart Heart on a string taking care not to break it Heart on a string so aware not to shake it Heart on a string just a twist it could tear you apart Just a twist it could tear it apart
