I came to you with my heart in my hand
Hoping you'd help me find my way
But I did not expect
What I did not foresee
Was how far you'd lead astray
'Cause when I look back
At all the things you said
When I zero in our long history
I can't help but feel
Underneath it all
You were just fucking with me
I came to you with my screwed-up past
Hoping you could help me sort it out
But that didn't happened
Things only got much worse
And I wound up in a state of primal doubt
And now when I look back
At where I been
And where I now seem to be
I can't help but feel
Underneath it all
You were just fucking with me
It's a wicked, wicked game
And you play it with esprit
I came to you a broken fool
Hoping you could shine down a light
But what happened next
Blew me up
Blew me up with all your might
'Cause now when I look back
At all that you've said
With all your grand hyperbole
I can't help but feel
Underneath it all
You were just fucking with me
