[VERSE 1]

You took my heart

And didn't know you held it in your hands

You squeezed too hard

And now there's nothing left of me

[PRE-CHORUS]

And I don't know what you're doing

And how you can cope knowing

I'm staring at you

I can't pretend that

It doesn't matter anymore cos

You know that's not true

[CHORUS]

And I wish you knew how sick I feel

Wish you could see me cry broken on my bed

And I wish you'd admit that this is real

That you took something perfect and painted it red

[VERSE 2]

I won't indulge you

With your hunger for anger and pain

Cos that's not me

And don't you think that I'll ever change

[PRE-CHORUS]

And I don't know where you are and

Why you won't tell me

How you really feel

You don't smile

So I've stopped looking up

My lips are sealed

[CHORUS]

And this can get so damn frustrating

Talking about your self-prescribed depression meds

And I'm not gonna start debating

Whether you took something perfect and painted it red

[BRIDGE]

So give me back my problems

And please don't undermine them

Cos they're important to me

And I'm done begging you for

Some kind of pointless closure

I'll be fine don't need anything

[CHORUS]

So tell me what you see fit to tell

And ignore everything I ever said

And you'll just be my fallen angel

Who took something perfect and painted it red
