Build Me Up, Break Me Down Lyrics - Dream Theater

Today I will be your savior 

Tomorrow a demon 

You crave my erratic behavior 

And watch my every move 

Obsession at all cost 

You'll be the death of me 

Broken and torn apart 

Why can't you let me be 

You build me up 

You break me down 

Until I'm falling to pieces 

I crash and burn 

I never learn 

I'm your guilty addiction 

Build me up 

Break me down

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

Tonight I am the new messiah 

You deify 

When I'm no longer desired 

I'll be crucified 

The one who's free from sin 

The first to cast the stone 

Fighting the fear within 

I won't be left alone 

You build me up 

You break me down 

Until I'm falling to pieces 

The price I pay 

To live this way 

And the fantasy stays alive 

I can't live up 

I can't let down 

And leave you falling to pieces 

Photos 

I crash and burn 

I never learn 

I'm your morbid obsession 

Build me up 

Break me down 

You build me up 

You break me down 

Until I'm falling to pieces 

The price I pay 

To live this way 

And the fantasy stays alive 

I can't live up 

I can't let down 

And leave you falling to pieces 

I crash and burn 

I never learn 

Your iconic fixation 

Build me up 

Break me down 

Build me up 

Break me down
