Same Book But Never The Same Page

[Verse 1] I've lost a part of me 'Cause I am just an open book for everyone to see I always leave empty handed; I can't keep the things that mean the most to me I'm walking steady on a tightrope clinging only to the words that I wrote I might be temporarily blind but I'm not stupid [Chorus] Can you tell me how you feel and look me in the face? (I've always wanted to know) I'll go and drop my guard, you put me in my place (In my place, put in my place) I can't stand it, I don't get it Nothing ever seems to work when you're around You always build me up to break me down [Verse 2] I'd give you everything but that would never be good enough and that's alright with me You take me for granted, I tried to help you be who you wanna be I'm a sucker for a complication Here goes another week it must seem You weren't worth my time, you weren't worth my time I still let you take it from me [Chorus] Can you tell me how you feel and look me in the face? (I've always wanted to know) I'll go and drop my guard, you put me in my place (In my place, put in my place) I can't stand it, I don't get it Nothing ever seems to work when you're around You always build me up to break me down [Bridge] Why do I always do this to myself? Always depending on everyone else You know it's going to drive me crazy You're just a notch in the wall that made me Why do I always do this to myself? Always depending on everyone else You know it's going to drive me crazy You're just a notch in the wall that made me (You're just a notch in the wall that made me) [Chorus] Can you tell me how you feel and look me in the face? (I've always wanted to know) I'll go and drop my guard, you put me in my place (In my place, put in my place) I can't stand it, I don't get it Nothing ever seems to work when you're around You always build me up to break me down [Outro] You always build me up to break me down I said you'll always build me up to break me down You break me down You break me down We never met on middle ground You break me–
