My entry for the SOLARIA Original Song Contest!
It's always fun to write villain songs, so when faced with the opportunity to write a song for one of the villains in a DnD campaign I play in (run by eeldoodles and caitlynmckayart), I jumped on it. Velli is a powerful fey turned recurring antagonist in the campaign after a series of... Very unfortunate events. Her main mode of combat is literally puppeteering people with her vines, so the strings can be... Quite literal.

Lyrics:
When do I
Give up and admit that the well’s run dry?
When all that I can see is you and I
But you don’t even see how hard I try
With love at stake
Of course there’ll always be some give and take
But out of all the choices you could make
Did you consider just whose heart you’d break?
When was I anything but good to you?
When I did everything that I could do?
Why should it matter just how much I asked?
Why should you care if there were strings attached?
My dear I gave you my heart
And dear I’d give you the world
My dear when we were apart
It felt like my life unfurled
And then when I got you back
And you just threw me away
What was I meant to say?
Every thought
Every goal
Every head that rolled
All I did
All I do
To take back control
Of my life
Of my love
That I lost with you
If it hurts
Let them hurt
They should feel it too!
Oh, they’ll feel it too
They’ll feel it too
How it felt losing you
Oh, you’ll feel it too
It’s not for you
I’ll do it all for me
For me
For me
FOR ME!
And in time
I’ve found somebody else that’s just sublime
It’s like I’m royalty and he’s my knight
So don’t you worry cause I’m doing fine
So come and see
All of the good that you have done for me
I found a place where I can truly be
And can’t you see I’m simply blossoming?
What does it matter what you think of me?
Now that I’m gone finally I can see
With you I’d never be this happy
But dear don’t think you’ve gotten rid of me
There’s still strings attached
Strings attached
