Build Me Up Break Me Down

Today I will be a saviour

Tomorrow a demon

You crave my eratic behaviour

And watch my every move



Obsession at all costs

You'll be the death of me

Broken and torn apart

Why can't you let me be?



You build me up

You break me down

Until I'm falling to pieces

I crash and burn

I never learn

I'm your guilty addiction



Build me up

Break me down



Today

Saviour

Tonight I am the new messiah

You dare defy



When I'm no longer desired

I'll be crucified



The one who's free from sin

The first to cast the stone

Fighting the fear within

I won't be left alone



You build me up

You break me down

Until I'm falling to pieces

The price I pay

To live this way

And the fantasy stays alive

I can't live up

I can't let down

And leave you falling to pieces

I crash and burn

I never learn

I'm your morbid obsession



Build me up

Break me down



I will be a saviour



You build me up

You break me down

Until I'm falling to pieces

The price I pay

To live this way

And the fantasy stays alive

I can't live up

I can't let down

And leave you falling to pieces

I crash and burn

I never learn

Your iconic fixation



Build me up

Break me down

Build me up

Break me down
