Puppet

Yeah lately I feel like a puppet

Being pulled in 15 million different places

Girlfriend's on the phone

The other line I got my agent

Like hey Jake got good news

We just booked another tour

Yea that's good and all but that

Just means another civil war between me and my girl

What am I supposed to say

Hey baby how you doin

I missed you oh by the way

I'm bout to leave again

I'm going on a fall tour

But I'll be back before you know it

Then I'm all yours

Listen Jake she'll understand

This is more important

Oh really You wanna tell her that

Cause if I ever did she'd probably kill me

Look I'm sorry Jake but it's done deal

You're leavin Thursday

And you'll be on the road during

Christmas and your birthday

Great my girl's mad cause I ain't there a lot

And now I gotta spend my birthday

In the courtyard Marryat

Jake I know your stressed man

You've had a busy year

But this is what you sound good for

This is your career

This ain't a shooting for the weak hearted

Jake I thought you knew

But you can't pursue your dream

And have a normal life too

If you ain't ready tell me now

I never said that it was easy

Otherwise I'll be in my office

You know where to reach me

Damn I'm feelin like a puppet

A goddamn puppet

Being pulled in a million different ways

Man I think I'm bout to break

I'm a puppet

A goddamn puppet

Sick of feeling like a puppet

Sometimes I wanna disappear

All these voices in my head

I'm a I'm a

Look hang up with my agent

Put my phone down on the table

Five seconds later get a call from my label

Like hey Jake how you doin

Tell me how's the album comin

We heard your last song and honestly

We didn't love it

We don't think it'll make the cut

Could've written better verses

Deadline's in a month and now we startin

To get nervous

Stop getting so distracted

Start pickin up the pen

You need more time in the studio

And less time with your friends

Cause it's crunch time

Should be doing nothing but making music

We follow you on Instagram

See everything you doin

Yea we see you at the beach at the gym

At the mall

To be honest

Doesn't seem like you're working hard at all

How dare you say that

I don't even have time to take a s**t

I've been working non-stop and I'll be honest

I admit

Sometimes I need a break

This life can drive a man crazy

Especially when your label keeps callin

Sayin you're lazy

Listen Jake I know it's hard

Sometimes it isn't fun

But if this album tanks

Well your career could be done

If you ain't ready tell us now

Never said that it was easy

Otherwise I'll be in my office

You know where to reach me

Damn I'm feelin like a puppet

A goddamn puppet

Being pulled in a million different ways

Man I think I'm bout to break

I'm a puppet

A goddamn puppet

Sick of feeling like a puppet

Sometimes I wanna disappear

All these voices in my head

I'm a
