And in order to please you I"ve abandoned myself
And though it used to hurt me when you push me away
I"m stronger than ever, you made me this way
Mmmh..How I wish you, you suffered less too
It tears us both apart
And it"s not pretty the way you criticize me
And how it breaks my heart
And though you tell me that you love me
I can"t feel it and I"m afraid to let you down
It"s all or nothing, I fear that something"s wrong
I"m tired of walking on eggshells so terrified to fail

You avoid my gaze, withdraw from me these days
You punish me for trying to be all that you wanted

Bullshit might get you to the top, but it won"t keep you there.
