Think about what you said Think about what you said Think about what you are When everything falls apart, We've got to have someone to blame And look who is the girl in the spotlight this time I thought you were different I thought you could find something Really refined in my jagged edges and everything curious about me You can Tear me down if you want to You can make me a fool if that's what you need to survive Tear me down if you want to You can make me a fool if you can be that wickedly cruel Could you be so cruel? You circle around to find The place where I'm weak at times Is it really your fault? Or is it a disease That you need me to cure? Everything you do is ugly Everything you touch is falling apart And it's still not your fault You can Tear me down if you want to You can make me a fool if that's what you need to survive Tear me down if you want to You can make me a fool if that's all you know how to do That's all you can do It's getting darker now that you have become a part of me The nights are longer now that I have you tearing me apart Could you be so cruel? Tear me down if you want to You can make me a fool if that's what you need to survive Tear me down if you want to You can make me a fool if that's all that will pacify your heart It's getting darker now that I have you in my life The nights are longer now that I have you tearing me apart Could you be so cruel? The one and only, lonely bastard
