Tearing Me Down

I was dreaming that I was someone

I was taller, smarter, prettier

I was hoping you could help me

But you consume me, you make me dirtier

Now you'll make all seem better

If I can just give up my sorrow

Glad to hear it's so damn easy

All the time we've wasted using me, tearing me down

I was dreaming I was such a young thing

I held magic in my fingers

Weren't you saying

(Aw, weren't you saying)

How I was special

(Aw, you're so special)

And then you bruised my beyond all reason

I was hoping

That you could hold me

That you could help me

That you could know me

But you consume me

But you confuse me

You make me dirtier
