lyrics

Tell me how it feels to be somebody's true love
Tell me how it feels to be put first
Tell me how it feels to take a heart that's been bruised and scuffed
And make it even worse

I give you everything and you take it
I'm sitting back waiting for you to appreciate it

Tell me what it's like to be on a pedestal looking down on me
Tell me what it's like to make someone feel so small
Then turn around and call them baby
When I put you up there, I sure thought I'd get my turn
Whys it gotta be the hard way
I always learn
Cause now I'm stuck down here asking you
How's the view

How many times can I forgive before its my fault
How many times can you knock me down
How do I trick myself to think you won't cover my wounds in salt
I wanna leave but I don't know how

So I give you everything and you take it
I'm sitting back waiting for you to appreciate it

Tell me what it's like to be on a pedestal looking down on me
Tell me what it's like to make someone feel so small
Then turn around and call them baby
When I put you up there, I sure thought I'd get my turn
Whys it gotta be the hard way
I always learn
Cause now I'm stuck down here asking you
How's the view
