Intro

It's broken 
I know what you want
I'm not a yo-yo
I'm not a thing
you let go

Instrumental

        

Verse 1

I keep hanging around
got some attachment to you
Way down is to where you
get through I told myself
it isn't right but it isn't
wrong Yet I found the more you
hot and cold me the more I
need protecting Can't hear
myself singing the same sad song

Refrain 1

Oh and it's not hard to
figure out why I am never
too far from the floor
You can only take me up
and down I've got to move
forward So I've cut the cord

Chorus 1

It's broken
I can't let that hope in
I know what you want
I'm not a yo-yo
I'm not a thing you let go
You're leaving me no choice
then I'll be on my way
I'm not a yo-yo I don't come
back when I'm thrown  

Verse 2

I keep hanging around
but I can't defy gravity
Rebound every time you
touch me I told myself
it isn't right but it
isn't wrong Yet I found
the more you high and low
me the more I need stability
Can't hear myself singing
this for too long

Refrain 2

Oh and now you've come
to face the fact
But I'm running as fast
as I can to the door
Cause you just wanna
swing me up and back
I've got to move forward
So I've cut the cord

Chorus 2

It's broken
I can't let that hope in
I know what you want
I'm not a yo-yo
I'm not a thing you let go
You're leaving me no choice
then I'll be on my way
I'm not a yo-yo I don't come
back when I'm thrown   
then I'll be on my way
I'm not a yo-yo I'm
not a thing you let go

Bridge

Didn't I adore you?
Didn't I bend to keep
you satisfied? Didn't I?
Didn't I assure you?
For every climb there
is a downward slide
that I can't ride

Chorus 3

Didn't I adore you?
Didn't I bend to keep
you satisfied? Didn't I?
Didn't I assure you?
For every climb there
is a downward slide
I had to cut the cord

Chorus 4

It's broken 
I know what you want
I'm not a yo-yo
I'm not a thing
you let go
You're leaving me no choice
then I'll be on my way
I'm not a yo-yo I don't come
back when I'm thrown oh
I know what you want
I'm not a yo-yo
I'm not a thing
you let go
I'm not a thing
you let go
I'm not a thing
you let go
I'm not a thing
you let go
I'm not a thing
you let go oh no no 
then I'll be on my way
I'm not a yo-yo I'm
not a thing you let go

Outro

Not a thing you let go
Not a thing you let go
Not a thing you let go 
Not a thing you let go 
Not a thing you let go
