[Verse 1]
What you gave me, I know you gave me
You remind me all the time
And how you hurt me and you don’t see it
Again, I am the child
[Pre-Chorus]
And though you tell me that you love me
I can’t feel it and I’m afraid to let you down
It’s all or nothing, I fear that something’s wrong
[Chorus]
I’m tired of walking on eggshells, so terrified to fail
And in order to please you, I've abandoned myself
And though it used to hurt me when you pushed me away
I’m stronger than ever, you made me this way
[Verse 2]
How I wish you, you suffered less too
It tears us both apart
And it’s not pretty, the way you criticize me
And how it breaks my heart
[Pre-Chorus]
And though you tell me that you love me
I can’t feel it and I’m afraid to let you down
It’s all or nothing, I fear that something’s wrong
[Chorus]
I’m tired of walking on eggshells, so terrified to fail
And in order to please you, I've abandoned myself
And though it used to hurt me when you pushed me away
I’m stronger than ever, you made me this way
[Bridge]
How I wish you knew, how much I need you
I feel like running, but I can’t abandon you
You avoid my gaze, withdraw from me these days
You punish me for trying to be all that you wanted
What more can I do?
[Chorus]
I’m tired of walking on eggshells, so terrified to fail
(I don't wanna fall)
And in order to please you, I've abandoned myself
And though it used to hurt me when you pushed me away
I’m stronger than ever, you made me this way
I’m tired of walking on eggshells, so terrified to fail
And in order to please you, I've abandoned myself
(And in order to please you, I've abandoned myself)
And though it used to hurt me when you pushed me away
I’m stronger than ever, you made me this way
What you gave me, I know you gave me
You remind me all the time
And how you hurt me and you don’t see it
Again, I am the child
[Pre-Chorus]
And though you tell me that you love me
I can’t feel it and I’m afraid to let you down
It’s all or nothing, I fear that something’s wrong
[Chorus]
I’m tired of walking on eggshells, so terrified to fail
And in order to please you, I've abandoned myself
And though it used to hurt me when you pushed me away
I’m stronger than ever, you made me this way
[Verse 2]
How I wish you, you suffered less too
It tears us both apart
And it’s not pretty, the way you criticize me
And how it breaks my heart
[Pre-Chorus]
And though you tell me that you love me
I can’t feel it and I’m afraid to let you down
It’s all or nothing, I fear that something’s wrong
[Chorus]
I’m tired of walking on eggshells, so terrified to fail
And in order to please you, I've abandoned myself
And though it used to hurt me when you pushed me away
I’m stronger than ever, you made me this way

I’m tired of walking on eggshells, so terrified to fail
And in order to please you, I've abandoned myself
(And in order to please you, I've abandoned myself)
And though it used to hurt me when you pushed me away
I’m stronger than ever, you made me this way
