Story of My Life

[Verse 1]
I was six feet under and upside down
Had a feeling you were taking the ride around
But I loved you
Did you love me too?
I was holding on when you let me fall
What a big mistake for a heart so small
So I tossed you and you lost me too

[Pre-Chorus]
And no, I don't need your permission
And no, I don't need your advice
I won't be under the covers tonight

[Chorus]
And you build me up, you build me high
Then you bring me down and down and down
Till I'm in pain, you throw around
You build me up, you build so high
Then you bring me down and down, and underneath the ground
Story of my life

[Verse 2]
I was torn apart and I could not speak
Never saw you as a fighter, never felt so weak
But I missed you, did you miss me too?
And then I took a look at the clothes I wear
What a mess I confess you make me so damn scared
Shame on you, shame on me too

[Pre-Chorus]
And no, I don't need your permission
And no, I don't need your advice
I won't be under the covers tonight

[Chorus]
And you build me up, you build me high
Then you bring me down and down and down
Till I'm in pain, you throw around
You build me up, you build so high
Then you bring me down and down, and underneath the ground
Story of my life

[Bridge]
I loved you this once and I'll love you again
I can yell, I can scream, but I'll only pretend
You're the soul in my heart
The heart in my soul
The wish in my well
You're well in my control
I read you across, I can read you around
Build you so high, I can take you so down
You loved me this once and you'll love me, you'll love me again

[Chorus]
And you build me up, you build me high
Then you bring me down and down and down
'Til I'm in pain, you throw around
You build me up, you build so high
Then you bring me down and down
And down and down and down
Down and down and down and down and down
Down and down and down and down and down
Story of my life
