I had the world on a string
Now it don't really
Mean a thing mean a thing
I had the world on a string
Now it don't really
Mean a thing mean a thing
I had the world on a string
Now it don't really
Mean a thing mean a thing
I had the world on a string
Now it don't really
Mean a thing
Yeah
Well I remember you running away
You were gone in a minute
With nothing say
I don't get why were you afraid
When you could've had
It all you threw away
Don't know what you heard
About me
Learned about me
To make you want to go off
In this world without me
Well don't you worry about me
I'll weather through the storm
Though this moments is cloudy
I'll go and take my place
With the underrated
Broken hearted even
Though it got my motivated
I ain't stoping till I know
We can be elevated
Past the voices saying
That we can never make it
I got the world on a string
But without you in it well
It don't mean a thing
I'm feeling like a ghost
Like my heart wants to scream
Well tell me it ain't real
That we lost in a dream
I had the world on a string
Now it don't really
Mean a thing mean a thing
I had the world on a string
Now it don't really
Mean a thing mean a thing
I had the world on a string
Now it don't really
Mean a thing mean a thing
I had the world on a string
Now it don't really
Mean a thing
I look up at the stars in the sky
Wonder if you looking up
The same time as I
Wonder if theres something
I could say that would bring
You back to me cause
It don't mean a thing
If you ain't around me
My heart profoundly
Stops what it's doing
Til your love surround me
What I gotta do to make
You think about me
I wrote you this love letter
And I speak it proudly
And once I send it out
I can't unsend
Got to put myself out
That's the first step
But what if you don't listen to it
Even worse yet
You don't want to hear
A word of my cursive
Well tell me what I do then
Tell me where am I going
Tell me where to begin
Yeah I used to have it all
Now I don't have a cent
And I hate not knowing
If I'll see you again
I had the world on a string
Now it don't really
Mean a thing mean a thing
I had the world on a string
Now it don't really
Mean a thing mean a thing
I had the world on a string
Now it don't really
Mean a thing mean a thing
I had the world on a string
Now it don't really
Mean a thing
