Dream Theater - Build Me Up, Break Me Down Lyrics

Today I will be your savior, tomorrow a demon
You crave my erratic behavior and watch my every move
Obsession at all cost, 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, savior

Tonight I am the new messiah, you deify
When I'm no longer desired, I'll be crucified
The one who's free from sin, the first to cast the stone
Fighting the fear within, I won't be left alone

You build me up, you break me down
Until I'm falling to pieces
The price I pay to live this way
And the fantasy stays alive

I can't live up, I can't let down
And leave you falling to pieces
I crash and burn, I never learn
I'm your morbid obsession

Build me up, break me down

I will be, I will be your savior

You build me up, you break me down
Until I'm falling to pieces
The price I pay to live this way
And the fantasy stays alive

I can't live up, I can't let down
And leave you falling to pieces
I crash and burn, I never learn
Your iconic fixation

Build me up, break me down
Build me up, break me down
