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

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

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,

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.(hey)

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

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

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.(hey)
I'll be on my way,
I'm not a yo-yo,
I'm not a thing you let go.

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?
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,I,

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.
Ahh, I know what you want,
I'm not a yo-yo,
I'm not a thing you let go.

Not a thing you let go, not a thing you let go
(2x)
Oh no,no, I'll be on my way,
I'm not a yo-yo,
I'm not a thing you let go.
Not a thing you let go, not a thing you let go
(2x)
