I can build my walls so you can make them burn

I will take the blame just because you never learn

You will tear me down, then beg to be let in

You'll make me your whole world

Then say that it's a sin

I could be your light and fill the empty space

That love cannot refill and hate cannot replace

I could lift you up, I would be your saving grace

I thought that you'd be mine

But now I see your face

And I'm still not enough, through everything I've been

You've taken me for granted and forgotten how to dream

To live and laugh and love with kindness in your heart

The one trade I can't teach

So I watch us fall apart
