You build me high 
To watch me fall 

Straight ahead don’t look twice 
Plan alone for days, alone for days 
Contemplating all you know 

You’ve built me high just to watch me fall 
I’ll never know a life outside these lines 
This is the start of the end for us all 
I’ll never get the days back on my own 

Look at me, look at me wasting away 
The look in your eyes, I feel empty 
Look at me listening into every word you say 

You build me up just to watch me react, to every little sound 
That I hear you make 
I’m treading on eggshells, treading on eggshells 
Every time I cross you, with every mistake 

You build me high just to watch me burn 
I couldn’t reason, I couldn’t win with you 
I know it’s you against the world 
But then I’ll get to be back on my own 

Look at me, look at me wasting away 
The look in your eyes, I feel empty 
Look at me listening into every word you say… 

Start listening to the signs, to the echoes in the cave 
Filling me with the confidence to blame 
Abused, your attitude will fill me with the fire inside 

The fire inside 

Will bring you to the brink 
To the brink 

I will end the suffering 
You promised me everything 
I need you to understand there’s nothing left for me 

Look at me, look at me wasting away 
The look in your eyes, I feel empty 
Look at me listening into every word you say… 

Start listening to the signs, to the echoes in the cave 
Filling me with the confidence to blame 
Abused your attitude will fill me with the courage to refuse, to refuse… 

From the look in your eyes I feel empty
