Lyrics

[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
