It’s truly false, and it sets the mood, 

Cold and bitter as a winter day, my love is dead and bruised 

Did you ever wonder when or why it all went away? 

Did it blindside you or did you see it coming? 

Did you sleep at night as bad as my stomach would ache? 

Did you stand up straight when my knees were buckling? 

You say you don’t, well I just bet you did 



If I can’t be respected, 

I won’t be beaten like a fucking dog 

I renounce my faith in all of you, 

So I’m gonna build a bigger god, 

If I’m taken for granted, 

I won’t be treated like a fucking dog 

Now that I’ve had enough of all of you, 

I’m gonna build a bigger god 



I raise the walls, deception lights my fuse, 

I tear the limbs off your little dolls, 

Just like me broken from all of you, 

Did you ever shed a tear when they were digging my grave, 

Did it make you smile when I was left with nothing? 

Did you take a breath when the wind was knocked out of me? 

Did it make you feel good when you saw me falling? 

You say you don’t, well I’ll just bet you did 



Do you know, or even understand, what it could have been? 

Never a break, never a chance, I’ll never do it again 

Never, never again 



You say you don’t, you say you don’t 

You say you don’t, but I can bet you did 



If I can’t be respected, 

I won’t be beaten like a fucking dog 

I renounce my faith in all of you, 

So I’m gonna build a bigger god, 

If I’m taken for granted, 

I won’t be treated like a fucking dog 

Now that I’ve had enough of all of you, 

I’m gonna build a bigger god 

A bigger god
