Verse:
I watch as you smile
and you really do mean it
when you tell me you'll stay,
here with me.
But you say that I look like I'm starving behind
these dark eyes.
I'll do what I can
to fake myself through the madness.
I wanna give you
whatever you need.
I wanna need
whatever you give me.

refrain:
But it's not that easy,
now do you think it is?

Chorus:
I make a habit
out of tearing down

what I've carefully built.
No matter how much I bend it,
it's refusal to break resonates,
demonstrates
my sadness.

I make a habit
out of choosing
what's the worst for me.
No matter how much I fight it,
I can't ever defeat
this evil villian
that's inside of me.

Verse:
I wish I could see my life
through a digital camera.
Then I could capture the joy
in a simple flash,
and turn it off when i can't stand to watch
anymore.
I'd store my snapshots
in a box under my bed
and save them for a sunny day.
Because, Lord only knows
there are less of those.

refrain:
But it's not that easy
to just hide them away.
Now, do you think it is?

Chorus:
I make a habit
out of tearing down
what I've carefully built.
No matter how much I bend it,
it's refusal to break resonates,
demonstrates
my sadness.

I make a habit
out of choosing
what's the worst for me.
No matter how much I fight it,
I can't ever defeat
this evil villian
that's inside of me.
