On Hold
Sometimes I feel like this is a one way mirror
You can see me
But I can never see you
You turn away when you feel like it
You leave me in the dark
And I feel like I just handed you the controls
You put me on hold
And then you turn away
Walk away
And drop the phone
You think my life is a pause button
Only press play when you want
And for the rest of the time
I'm set on stop
Do you think this is some kind of game
Am I some sort of joke?
Because no one seems to get it-
Im out here alone
You're running through life
Taking the lead
And you expect me to wait on you
Idly?
You put me on hold
And then you turn away
Walk away
And drop the phone
You think my life is a pause button
Only press play when you want
And for the rest of the time
I'm set on stop
So keep me in this prison
And you hold the key
You think that I sit back here waiting for you patiently?
Why do you get to the reins while I'm shackled in the chains?
So press the pause button
Keep me on hold
Keep me in a statue form until I'm ice cold
Press pause press pause for all you want
Keep me on hold until in your hand I'm a perfect mold
You put me on hold
And then you turn away
Walk away
And drop the phone
You think my life is a pause button
Only press play when you want
And for the rest of the time
I'm set on stop
It's stop and go
Stop and go
You just think you have the control
Stop and go
Stop and go
But I can't tell you no
Because in your hand you've made me into the perfect mold
