about

Piano based rock song with plenty of distorted guitars and driving drums. It's about someone who is maybe getting taken advantage of in life.

lyrics

You take advantage of me
Cause you know that I am easy to please
You don’t know when to stop
You plan it out and then you stitch me up

I wonder if you even know
About your power and your control

But who will I be once we’ve grown old

You pull my heart strings into view
You push the darkness out of the light
You pull heart strings into tune
And you play their song and enjoy the ride

Do you manipulate me
Or am I soft and just agree
When you need something done
You dip your head and you look up

It’s what you do to get your way
Look up at me and gently sway
Then look back down and how do I say…

I don’t know if I make you sad
You’re big brown eyes are looking back
I know, I know if I make you smile
You’ve won again and I’m not mine

You pull my heart strings into view
You push the darkness out of the light
You pull heart strings, bring them into tune
And you play their song and enjoy the ride

about

James Straits England, UK

I'm an unsigned artist from Dorset, UK.
I had a break from music for about 8 years until I started again last year.
Whilst I wasn't playing music life had taught me some lessons and provided me with plenty of ideas for new songs, in August 2019 I decided to play the piano and start writing again.
So I'm a singer/songwriter who also records and produces my own work. ... more
