Lyric Video by Johnny Chew
Lyrics: Oh heavens, hear my story A cautionary tale Of how I came to be loved, and how it came to fail A first time for lovers, a first time in agony The truths you will uncover will knock you on your knees
I gave it too much, I gave myself up I lost sight of all my dignity I've always been smart, my chameleon heart Took your draining personality and gave it to me I wanted to please you, this performance of a lifetime My heart to you handed, you took it for granted And made me the villain all alone
I struggled through the winter, Found cheat codes to your soul Was born to be a giver Destined to pay the toll
I gave it too much, I gave myself up I lost sight of all my dignity I've always been smart, my chameleon heart Took your draining personality and gave it to me I wanted to please you, this performance of a lifetime My heart to you handed, you took it for granted And made me the villain
Oh, inside you there's a guiltless child who never Saw his mother smile, a boy who had no Sense of home believes he's better off alone Who coils up in jealousy to mask his insecurities And I can't fix you, god I tried, the hourglass I shattered Just in time
I gave it too much, I gave myself up I lost sight of all my dignity One more lover fails, cautionary tales Continue to happen to me
