[Verse 1]
There's not a day that passes by, the pain has not amassed inside,
It's breaking me down to the ground, it's like I crashed and died.
It's hard to leave your past behind, especially when you're last in line,
And half the time it acts like vines and wraps inside my fragile mind.
Hiding in plain view it seems the same old shit I choose between,
Taking who I used to be and keeping it subdued beneath.
Close to dead and losing me, you took a chance and you believed,
So did I, I let you lead and grabbed the line you threw to me.
And through it all...
[Chorus]
You saved me, you made me!
And through it all you changed me forever.
You love me, you hate me!
And through it all you changed me forever.
[Verse 2]
You've given me a chance to change, helped me in ways I can't explain,
I'll never understand the way you took my hand with no dismay.
Now I'm who I am today and that's the man I plan to stay,
But can't escape, I can't evade, you stranded me and ran away.
Why'd you do it, why'd you leave? Why'd you help me find my feet?
Why'd you guide me blindingly, then turn and say goodbye to me?
All this time I tried to be the person you applied to me,
This lie you feed that I'd succeed is why I'm me, a dying breed!
[Chorus]
You saved me, you made me!
And through it all you changed me forever.
You love me, you hate me!
And through it all you changed me forever.
Through it all you changed me, I'm not the same me.
For better or for worse. this person that you made me.
Through it all you changed me, I'm not the same me.
For better or for worse you changed me forever!
Verse 3:
It's killing me down deep within, it makes me strain to breath again,
All this pain, I keep it in, if it's the end where'd we begin?
It's so hard to comprehend where we are is where we end,
Let's make believe, let's just pretend you don't hate me and want me dead!
What you said stays in my head, an unrelenting discontent,
It torments me to no extent, entrenches me just like cement.
It makes no sense, what's your intent? Bled for me then fled instead.
You never meant to be content, f*ck the words, let's just be friends.
[Chorus]
You saved me, you made me!
And through it all you changed me forever.
You love me, you hate me!
And through it all you changed me forever.
Through it all you changed me, I'm not the same me.
For better or for worse. this person that you made me.
Through it all you changed me, I'm not the same me.
For better or for worse you changed me forever!
[Outro]
Through it all you changed me, I'm not the same me.
For better or for worse. this person that you made me.
Through it all you changed me, I'm not the same me.
For better or for worse you changed me forever!
