I have this image of you and me
Stuck in my brain like it's a memory
It's how I see us without all the lies
I've fabricated you with honest eyes
Your words of comfort, your false support
When I caught on to it, it struck a chord
You'd say you're happy if I'm happy for myself
When you'd just be happier with someone else
Tear down your walls, and while you're at it burn your bridges
If it's really true I cause you so much grief
Do what you have to, leave me here in stitches
Sorry that I asked you to just be proud of me
Getting back to basics, to the things I love
To the talents given me from up above
Without the toxic dissatisfaction to keep me down
I'll keep on writing songs until I drown
Tear down your walls, and while you're at it burn your bridges
If it's really true I cause you so much grief
Do what you have to, leave me here in stitches
Sorry that I asked you to just be proud of me
