I build you up, I help you stand
I weather all your cruel demands
I'm terrified of every word
My anxious heart is on the mend
But here I am right back again
This beating heart is not your friend

But that's you
That's so you

You go first
It's not my loss
You go first
And I'll go on

I know you won't let go of this now
So close your mind 'til it hurts

What's good for you is killing me
The choice is yours and I'm a slave
I realize it's only a phase
And you eat this up
Oh that's enough
God knows I'm falling short

That's you
That's so you

We all give up, a part of us

You go first
It's not my loss
You go first
And I'll go on

I know you won't let go of this now
So close your mind 'til it hurts

Whatever gives you what you need to live
Whatever you say, whatever you say here
We tear apart the closest ones to our hearts
It's not my loss

You go first
It's not my loss
You go first
And I'll go on

I know you won't let go of this now
So close your mind 'til it hurts
