Lyrics
I gave my all and got nothing back
I invested a lot, but received no reciprocation.
How can I love someone
Questioning the ability to love someone.
If my lover is a maniac
Describing the lover as erratic or unstable.
My head is spinning
Feeling mentally overwhelmed and disoriented.
Thinking of the ways that I could make this work
Reflecting on possible solutions to improve the relationship.
But when I try it makes me feel like the biggest jerk
Attempts to improve the situation result in self-perceived failure.
I can't take it
Expressing inability to endure the current circumstances.
You build me up
Acknowledging being uplifted by the other person.
Just to break me down
Feeling emotionally broken after being raised up.
You build me up
Repetition of the emotional cycle of being built up and then broken down.
It hurts a lot when I dream of you
Experiencing emotional pain while dreaming about the person.
And I know that it will never come true
Realizing that the dream of a positive outcome will not materialize.
I've learned to suck it up and
Learning to endure the emotional pain.
Expect nothing from you
Adopting a mindset of not expecting anything positive from the person.
My life's been taken from me
Feeling a sense of loss and emptiness in life.
Now nothing in this world
Expressing a state of emotional numbness.
Can make me feel as good as I did before
Nothing can match the previous positive feelings.
You build me up
Repetition of the cycle of being built up and broken down.
Just to break me down
Experiencing emotional pain after being uplifted.
You build me up
Reiteration of the emotional cycle.
I expect nothing from you
Stating the expectation of nothing positive from the person.
I expect nothing from you
Repeating the expectation of nothing positive.
I expect nothing from you
Further reinforcement of the expectation of nothing positive.
I expect nothing from you
Final emphasis on expecting nothing positive from the person.
