There's just something about being liked
Oh, what a high
To be seen as a star in his eyes
A shiny gold prize
Or I'll be anyone to be wanted
I know how to put on a show
And sell the role, and make you start falling hard

I threw me away to hold you
(Oh, no) God, what a waste
'Cause, you call it love, but I don't relate
The me that you love is someone I hate now
(Oh, no) I threw me away to hold you close

And I guess it's the way I was raised
Be what he wants
So he needs me, keeps me and stays
I hold the cards
I have his heart and I call it safety
But I don't even have myself
So what the hell am I even saying?

I threw me away to hold you
(Oh, no) God, what a waste
'Cause, you call it love, but I don't relate
The me that you love is someone I hate now
(Oh, no) I threw me away to hold you close
I threw me away to hold you close

Oh, no, I threw me away
Oh, no, God, what a waste

I threw me away to hold you
(Oh, no) God, what a waste
'Cause, you call it love, but I don't relate (don't relate)
The me that you love is someone I hate now
(Oh, no) I threw me away to hold you close
I threw me away to hold you close (close)

I threw me away to hold you close
