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

[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
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]
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
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 front and back
I've got to move forward
So I've cut the cord
[Chorus]
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
Yeah, 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
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 down ward slide
I had to cut the cord
It's broken
I know what you want, I'm not a yo-yo I'm not a thing you let go

[Chorus]
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 oh, 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
Not a thing you let go, not a thing you let go
Oh no no, I'll be on my way
I'm not a yo-yo, not a thing you let go
Not a thing you let go
Not a thing you let go
Not a thing you let go
