Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You just wanna use me for my heart
Why′d you have to make me feel like I meant something?
Why'd you have to do that from the start?
You told me I was a gem
But I′m not a sapphire
Please get out of my head
I know that you know that you meant everything you said
Why'd you have to fuck with my head?
I really liked you, I want to take your pain
But now you′re not the same
You′re really just like everyone else
I'm just gonna stay by myself
It′s better for my head and it's better for my heart
I won′t give you a chance, I won't give you another
Watch me grow and watch my glow I′ll be up here
Watch me grow and watch my glow I'll be up here
You told me I was a gem
But I'm not a sapphire
Please get out of my head
I promise you I′m not a fucking liar
You told me I was a gem
But I′m not a sapphire
Please get out of my head
I promise I'm no liar
