Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I'm only whatever you make me

And you make me more and more a villain every day

But you don't know, you reap, you sow

Whatever you give to me

From yourself, you take

Well, if you're a hater then hate the creator

It's in your image I'm made

[Verse 2]

One eye open and one eye closed

'Cause I'll hang myself if you give me rope

I lost all my faith and lost all hope

That everything means anything at all

One eye broken and one eye bruised

'Cause I gave myself away for you

You liar, you don't love me too

It's easy for you after all

[Verse 3]

My heart is massive, but it's empty

A permanent part of me, that innocent artery

Is gasping for some real attention

Some undivided hypertension

Tell it, "Quiet down, you're being loud"

But it beats harder every time you come around

But do you love the sound?

[Verse 4]

I sleep with one eye open and one eye closed

'Cause I'll hang myself if you give me rope

I lost all my faith and lost all hope

That everything means anything at all

One eye broken and one eye bruised

'Cause I gave myself away for you

You liar, you don't love me too

It's easy for you after all

[Verse 5]

Losing you is easier than lying to myself that you love me

Losing you is easier than lying to myself that you love me

Losing you is easier than lying to myself that you love me

Losing you is easier than lying to myself

[Verse 6]

I sleep with one eye open and one eye closed

'Cause I'll hang myself if you give me rope

I lost all my faith and lost all hope

That everything means anything at all

One eye broken and one eye bruised

'Cause I gave myself away for you

You liar, you don't love me too

It's easy for you after all
