Dream Theater – Build Me Up, Break Me Down
Audio Published on August 8, 2015
Lyrics
Today, I will be a savior,
tomorrow a demon.
You crave my erratic behavior
and watch my every move.
Obsession at all costs,
you'll be the death of me.
Broken and torn apart,
why can't you let me be?
You build me up, you break me down
until I'm falling to pieces.
I crash and burn, I never learn,
I'm your guilty addiction.
Build me up! Break me down
(Today...a savior...)
Tonight, I am the new messiah you deify.
When I'm no longer desired,
I'll be crucified.
The one who ... See More
tomorrow a demon.
You crave my erratic behavior
and watch my every move.
Obsession at all costs,
you'll be the death of me.
Broken and torn apart,
why can't you let me be?
You build me up, you break me down
until I'm falling to pieces.
I crash and burn, I never learn,
I'm your guilty addiction.
Build me up! Break me down
(Today...a savior...)
Tonight, I am the new messiah you deify.
When I'm no longer desired,
I'll be crucified.
The one who ... See More
