Punching Bag Lyrics

[Chorus]
Go on, make my day
Go get high on my mistakes
Give me more complaints
You're real, I'm just a fake
I wake up, I'm so glad
I can be your punching bag
Go on, make my day
Go get high on my mistakes

[Verse 1]
Go ahead and mold me, bought me and they sold me
I'm smiling upside down
Now I'm all used up, ready for my close up
Am I pretty underground?
I can be your Barbie, I can say sorry
I can do whatever you want
Go ahead and slap me if it makes you happy
Use and abuse me till I’m gone

[Chorus]
Go on, make my day
Go get high on my mistakes
Give me more complaints
You're real, I'm just a fake
I wake up, I'm so glad
I can be your punching bag
Go on, make my day
Go get high on my mistakes
[Post-Chorus]
If you want me, come and take me
Because I love the way you hate me

[Verse 2]
I didn't even notice, barely got a moment
Not a moment to myself
Heaven's what they sold me, but now I miss the old me
Before I got stuck in hell

Walking down the street, just a public enemy
My back's against the wall
I didn't even notice, barely got a moment
Build me up to watch me fall

[Bridge]
This is goodbye, you bled me dry
This is goodnight, my soul has died
I gave you my all, you built me up to fall
I gave you my all, I gave you my all


[Chorus]
Go on, make my day
Go get high on my mistakes
Give me more complaints
You're real, I'm just a fake
I wake up, I'm so glad
I can be your punching bag
Go on, make my day
Go get high on my mistakes
[Outro]
If you want me, come and take me
Because I love the way you hate me
Someone find me, someone save me
Because I feel like I'm fucking dying
