lyrics

I see it now  And though it's taken me some time to figure out
But that was such a different life with you around
And I thought somehow  We'd work it out

But the more I stayed away the more I'd doubt
That things would ever be the same and it turned out
While I built you up  You'd let me down

You'd take me out  You made me feel I was only just a prop  Like I was just your youthful toy that you showed off
And you dressed me up  And soon forgot

Did it make you feel much better  Did it make you feel alive  Did it make you feel so strong to know
You'd toy with someone's life  Did it make you feel much bigger
When you'd cut me down to size  I can see it now  Couldn't see it then  But I've learned to realize

I see it now  Just when I think I found another to call a friend
But then I just fall for the same old trick again
I'd let you in  The circle never ends

Did it make you feel much better  Did it make you feel alive  Did it make you feel so strong to know
You'd toy with someone's life  Did it make you feel much bigger
When you'd cut me down to size  I can see it now  Couldn't see it then  But I've learned to recognize

So, show me now  Show me what it's like to feel that fire within  And If cupid's bow would aim and break my skin I'd let you in  To break my hear again
And If cupid's bow would aim and break my skin I'd let you in  I'd do it all again, I'd do it all again
