Lyrics
[90s British guitar rock/Britpop anthem. Mid-to-up tempo, energetic but not frantic. Crunchy overdriven electric guitars, melodic riff, chunky rhythm guitar and strong bass. Punchy rock drums. Male vocal: nasal, raspy, slightly whiny British character, confident but emotional. Conversational verses building into a huge, euphoric, instantly singable chorus with layered backing vocals. Raw, warm, gritty 90s production, not polished. Strong British swagger / attitude. Short melodic guitar solo. Avoid American rock vocals]
[Verse 1]
I was doing so well, that's what you said
You put the whole world spinning in my head
Said I had something, said I had a way
Said I could be somebody someday
[Bridge]
But every time I get a little higher
You come along and pour ice on the fire
One minute I'm the best you've ever seen
The next I'm everything I've never been
[Verse 2]
I wrote it down, I played it loud
You said you'd never heard me sound so proud
Then you changed your mind before the morning came
And somehow I was the one who took the blame
[Bridge]
You say I'm good, then say I'm not
You turn me cold when I thought I was hot
I don't know which way I'm supposed to go
You tell me yes, then you tell me no
[Chorus]
You build me up just to tear me down
Now I'm falling from the heavens till I hit the ground
I was flying so high, now I'm sinking deep
These highs and lows got me losing sleep
[Verse 3]
I tried my best, I gave it all
You watched me run and waited for me to fall
So here's the thing that you don't understand
I don't need you telling me who I am
[Bridge]
Maybe I'm stupid, maybe you're right
Maybe I'm wrong every day and every night
You say I'm brilliant, you say I'm shit
I'm getting sick of all of it
[Chorus]
You build me up just to tear me down
Now I'm falling from the heavens till I hit the ground
I was flying so high, now I'm sinking deep
These highs and lows got me losing sleep
[Instrumental]
[Bridge]
You say I'm good, then say I'm not
You turn me cold when I thought I was hot
Maybe I'm stupid, maybe you're right
Maybe I'm wrong every day and every night
[Bridge 2 – different tune, angry, more passionate]
Well I've had enough, I'm done with your games
I'm sick of hearing all the reasons and names
You can keep your praise, you can keep your crown
I'm not gonna let you fucking pull me down
I'm not your failure, I'm not your fool
I'm not gonna live by your fucking rules
[Music stops – slower, sad]
You wanted someone you could break and rebuild
Well I'm standing [drums build and music kicks back in] here now - [shouting, resilient] and I never will
[Chorus]
You build me up just to tear me down
Now I'm falling from the heavens till I hit the ground
I was flying so high, now I'm sinking deep
These highs and lows got me losing sleep
[Chorus – bigger / final]
You build me up just to tear me down
Now I'm falling from the heavens til I hit the ground
But I'm still standing –never admitting defeat
