Toys

I won’t talk till you say now
Pull the strings and then I’ll speak
 
Big bright smile
painted on bright
Battery lasts through the night
 
I won’t cry
No I won’t crrrryyyy
 
I see you lookin’ at the other toys
 
I’ll pretend that you mean nothin’ to me
I’ll even convince myself
It’s a game I never knew I was in
 
In the end
I haven’t won
and the game
is no longer fun

This is a song that my brother wrote a couple of years ago in response to me talking about romantic relationships in my twenties.
