[Intro]
Give it to me, I throw it away
Give it to me, I throw it away
Covered in hope and Vaseline
Still cannot fix this broken machine
Watching the hole, it used to be mine
Just watching it burn in my steady systematic decline
Of the trust I will betray
Give it to me, I throw it away
After everything I've done I hate myself for what I’ve become
Give it to me, I throw it away
Give it to me, I throw it away
I throw it away
[Hook]
It took you to make me realize
It took you to make me realize
It took you to make me realize
It took you to make me see the light
It took you to make me realize
It took you to make me realize
It took you to make me realize
It took you to make me see the light
[Verse]
Perfect little dream, the kind that hurts the most
Forgot how it feels, well almost
No one to blame, always the same
Open my eyes, wake up, wake up, wake up in flames
[Chorus]
Smashed up my sanity
Smashed up my integrity
Smashed up what I believed in
Smashed up what's left of me
Smashed up my everything
Smashed up all that was true
Gonna smash myself to pieces
I don't know what else to do
[Hook]
It took you to make me realize
It took you to make me realize
It took you to make me realize
It took you to make me see the light
It took you to make me realize
It took you to make me realize
It took you to make me realize
It took you to make me see the light
