When You Tried To Build Me Up With The Wrong Words

The Juliana Theory


When you tried to build me up with the wrong words 
All it did was kill me 
And when you said you trusted in all that I feel 
I never quite believed you 
And when you tried to help me out 
By telling me how we should be 
I disagreed 

So hold me up 
And you should see 
You're not supposed to be my enemy 
I know your side 
I understand 
But you can let me feel 
It's safe in my hands 
You're every word is full of doubt 
I've never had a way til now to let it out 
If this is how it's gotta be 
It will never be easy 

You can make this very easy 
If you can show me you believe me 
You could kill me 
You can kill me 
Or you can make this very easy 

So let me breathe 
Just let me be 
I'd show you more 
Than you could ever hope to see 
Intentions are the same I find 
Bad, even if they are I still need room to shine 
So give it time and give it space 
This isn't just a slap across your face 
If this is how it's gotta be 
I will never speak freely 

You can make this very easy 
If you can show me you believe me 
You could kill me 
You can kill me 
Or you can make this very easy 

Won't you believe in me?
