[Verse 1]
Listen, I'm getting tired
Of hearing the same thing over again
Missing the point I've been saying
And playing a blame game I can't win

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause this one-way mirror isn't right
Do you even see me? Do you even care?
And the lie I'm living isn't mine
I wanna move on, but I'm still right there

[Chorus]
And I give and I give
But I get nothing back but the words
That I've heard all before
You're skipping like a broken record
And I never learn, yeah
If I fit your glass slipper well
I could be your perfect Cinderella
So I try and I try, until something inside of me breaks
I give and you take

[Verse 2]
Lately, running on empty
Only pretending I like what you want
Stop me, or say something crazy
Or say something stupid, like it or not

[Pre-Chorus]
And it's not like me
To be a puppet on the end of a string
No, it's not like me
To do what I'm told every time you speak

[Chorus]
And I give and I give
But I get nothing back but the words
That I've heard all before
You're skipping like a broken record
And I never learn, yeah
If I fit your glass slipper well
I could be your perfect Cinderella
So I try and I try until something inside of me breaks
I give and you take (Take)
I give and you take (Take)
(Yeah-yeah-yeah)
[Bridge]
And It's not like me
To be the pretty little video dream
And It's not like me
To be someone I don't wanna be

[Chorus]
And I give and I give
But I get nothing back but the words
That I've heard all before
You're skipping like a broken record
And I never learn, yeah
If I fit your glass slipper well
I could be your perfect Cinderella
So I try and I try until something inside of me breaks
I give and you take
