| I made your eyes shine a little too bright |
| Now I find you in every pretty thing I see |
| And I treat your perfume like cocaine |
| Now you're stuck in my brain |
| Victim to the nose bleeds |
|
| And how did you do it? |
| I see right through it |
| Tighten the noose and |
| Find which of us are tied to it |
|
| I made you bigger and better than ever before |
| Now you beg for more |
| You made me smaller and harder |
| And cold to the core |
| And what did you do that for? |
|
| Still I paint you this picturesque beauty |
| Anyone would die to see you right through me |
| Golden and green |
| Oh, so perfect to me |
| I would swallow you whole if you let me |
|
| I made you bigger and better than ever before |
| Now you beg for more |
| You made me smaller and harder |
| And cold to the core |
| So weep at my door |
|
| You made it easy |
| Lied through your teeth |
| And now I hold you to standards that you cannot reach |
|
| I made you bigger and better than ever before |
|
| What can I say? |
| I'm so good at making you someone that I could love forever and |
| What can I do when I'm at the mercy of Midas hands |
| The very ones that reach for you |
|
| With your hair at your shoulders |
| You wish I were older |
| I wish you were half the world I made of you |
|
| Don't you sit there and grieve |
| Your last hope for reprieve |
| On that high horse |
| The very one I built for you |
|
| How could you do it? |
| I see right through it |
| Tighten the noose and |
| Find which of us are tied to it |
|
| I made you bigger and better than ever before |
| Now you beg for more |
| You made me smaller and harder |
| And cold to the core |
| So weep at my door |
|
| You made it easy |
| Lied through your teeth |
| Now I hold you to standards that you cannot reach |
| I made you bigger and better than ever before |
|
| And what did I do that for? |
| Why did I do that? |
| What did I do that for? |
| Why did I do that? |
| What did I do that for? |
| What did I do that for? |
