Build Me Up, Break Me Down

Today I will be your savior

Tomorrow a demon

You crave my erratic behavior

And watch my every move

Obsession at all cost

You'll be the death of me

Broken and torn apart

Why can't you let me be

You build me up

You break me down

Until I'm falling to pieces

I crash and burn I never learn

I'm your guilty addiction

Build me up

Break me down

Tonight I am the new messiah

You deify

When I'm no longer desired

I'll be crucified

The one who's free from sin

The first to cast the stone

Fighting the fear within

I won't be left alone

You build me up

You break me down

Until I'm falling to pieces

The price I pay

To live this way

And the fantasy stays alive

I can't live up I can't let down

And leave you falling to pieces

I crash and burn

I never learn

I'm your morbid obsession.

Build me up

Break me down

You build me up

You break me down

Until I'm falling to pieces

The price I pay

To live this way

And the fantasy stays alive

I can't live up I can't let down

And leave you falling to pieces

I crash and burn

I never learn

Your iconic fixation

Build me up

Break me down
