(Verse 1) You kept me small, so you could feel tall Built a pedestal, out of my back against the wall. You called it "protection,", I called it a cage. But I was just the audience, applauding you upon the stage. I poured my spirit into your empty cup Waiting for the day you’d finally look up.
(Verse 2) You used my mercy like a master key,To unlock the vulnerable parts of me. Took advantage of my empathy, stealing pieces that were supposed to be free. A strategic tear, a well-timed "I’m sorry" Just another chapter in your narcissistic story. You never wanted a partner, you wanted a cure. So you bled me dry, just to try to feel pure.
longer recognize, the face at my door. The monster is a menace, the man is a lie. Instead of the man, I now see the monster with my eyes.
(Chorus) What about you? What about me? Is it true? You were only ever into me… For… You.
(Bridge) (The music drops to a heavy, rhythmic pulse) You were into me for the peace of mind. You were into me for them to believe you were kind." For the love, and the affection, and unrelenting support. I’m moving on from the words you spoke. I’m taking my heart and I’m taking my time. Leaving you here with your perfect crime
(Chorus) What about you? What about me? Is it true? You were only ever into me… For… You.
(Verse 3)I kept your deepest darkest secrets, no matter the cost. Reflected your light to make you a star, no matter what I lost. How could you ever see me, when you prefer your own reflection. Thinking we could be meant to be, was such a fucked up predilection
(Verse 4) You’re a collector of the soft and the kind To fill the scars you keep open in your mind. I was always just the stage, you were the play. You kept building up a debt, you never could repay.
(Outro) (The tempo picks up, sounds of a tambourine or boots stomping) I’m walking out where the grass is green To the life you never would’ve let me see.. Not for you.. For me
