You got me right where you've wanted me
since the day we met
You got me right where you want me
and you're not even through with me yet
Wrapped around your little finger
like a thread ready to break
Tied up in your commotion,
your delusions and heartbreak
You've got me painted in a corner
and left me stranded for nothing at all
Painted in a corner
and it makes no sense at all
The hopes and dreams die
like a lonely Valentine
Faded by your words
like you used turpentine
You've put me in a barrel
dropped me over a waterfall
Pushed over the edge
looking forward to my fall
Drowning in your words
at the bottom of your lake
Water fills my lungs
and my heart breaks
