| You said you needed water |
| So I built the house on sand |
| When it sank into the ocean |
| The blood was on my hands |
| You left me in a limbo |
| A "Catch 22" |
| For saving my own life |
| Made me the murderer of you |
|
| But I know |
| I can't claim it as just self-defense |
| Protecting the illusion of my permanent innocence |
| Because who's guilty is besides the point |
| It has to be me |
| I have to be |
|
| Your destroyer |
| I don't wanna but I have to be |
| Your destroyer |
| I don't wanna but I have to be |
| Your destroyer |
| Oh, I have to be |
|
| The villain of the movie |
| Just a victim of the times |
| You dress me up and use me |
| To fit the story you designed |
| Oh, I yearned for your approval |
| 'Til I didn't recognize me either |
| Two tickets for a funeral when you |
| Blow up the hand that feeds ya |
|
| Oh, I can't claim it as just self-defense |
| Protecting the illusion of my permanent innocence |
| Because who's guilty is besides the point |
| It has to be me |
| I have to be |
|
| Your destroyer |
| I don't wanna but I have to be |
| Your destroyer |
| I don't wanna but I have to be |
| Your destroyer |
| Oh, I have to be |
| Your destroyer |
