Same Book But Never the Same Page

I 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.

Can you tell me how you feel, 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.

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
And those that are weak at the seams.
You weren't worth my time. You weren't worth my time.
But still I let you take it from me.

Can you tell me how you feel, 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.

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.

I said you 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!
