Please play me up and down

Build me up it reach the sky

Let me brush the moon, poke the stars

Be the earthquake that makes me brake

Cause me to tumble down

Fool me once, Fool me twice

I promise I’ll pretend to believe

I’ll risk it all again and again

Though you’ve shamed yourself

Though I’ve shamed me

Trick me and Treat me

Swindle your deepest wants from me

I vow I will comply every time

Give me the little tidbits, I won’t complain

I’ll always give more then Ill get

Extort and leave me behind

Threaten me with my life

And I’ll give in always, it’s true

Renounce me and you know

That I’ll always follow you home

Wrap me up in pretty paper

And throw me to the curb

But in those moments of splendor

Delight in watching it peel away

I’ll let you do it over and over

Give me my ballet shoes

And I’ll dance just for you

I’ll twirl and jump on a wet floor

I’ll cry seeing the mop in your hand

Though you’ll laugh in injustice

Cheat me again

Hurt me again

Trick me again

Tear me again

Abandon me again

Shame me again

I’ll just get back up

I’ll just fall down again

My addiction has taken over

No matter how hard I try

I just can’t break the habit
