[Intro]
(What's up?)
[Chorus]
Although you're so pristine you needed more than me
You couldn't give me much, I gave you everything (Wow)
You pull, I push away, I guess it's what they say
I'm thinner every day, I'm just your paperweight
[Verse]
I-I-I-I-I
Can't stand what I see now
In the mirror, who is that? I wanna freak out
Tell me that I'm fine
Even if you lie
You took my heart and tore away
I never thought it'd end this way
I dove to catch you fallin' free
Whatever have you done to me?
[Chorus]
Although you're so pristine you needed more than me
You couldn't give me much, I gave you everything (Wow)
You pull, I push away, I guess it's what they say
I'm thinner every day, I'm just your paperweight
