Today, I will be a savior, tomorrow a demon
You crave my erratic behavior and watch my every move
Obsession at all costs
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!

(Today, a savior)
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
I crash and burn, I never learn
I'm your morning obsession
Build me up! Break me down!

(I will be your savior)

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! (x2)
