[Verse 1]
Look at me now
In my castle made of glass
Your hands are just like hammers, every touch another crack
Swing them any harder, watch my sparkling house collapse
I know I said I wanted this, but now I've come to see
That I gave you way too much of me
You locked me up and hid the key
[Chorus]
Now I'm taking myself back
Even if I let everyone down
I don't stand a chance here
Finally I'm saving myself
[Verse 2]
Oh, you call it unrequited
While you stab me in the back
This must be love 'cause you decided it
But my blood is on your hands, it's spilling all over the rug
You act surprised to see me lay here
Tell me I've gotta clean this up
You think that time is gonna heal this, really, time is gonna heal this?
No, your time is up
(Shh)
[Chorus]
I'm taking myself back
Even if I let everyone down
I don't stand a chance here
Finally I'm saving myself
[Verse 3]
Call her a survivor or a victim
Oh, where'd they get the nerve?
Keep using black and white on colored pages
To paint the one who's gotten hurt, but would you look at both her wings?
Is she an angel or a demon?
Somebody better call the priest
Grab your pitchforks and your torches, start the fires, grab the horses
Let's all slay her like her beast
[Pre-Chorus]
Go ahead and try to get me
[Chorus]
I'm taking myself back
Even if I let everyone down
I don't stand a chance here
Finally I'm saving myself
[Outro]
Look at me now
In my castle made of glass
