[Intro]
Ooh, la, la, la, la
Ooh, la, la, la, la
Ooh, la, la, la, la

[Verse 1]
When you pull me in and you hold me close
And you say all kinds of crazy things that make me wanna stay in your arms
You're a charm, I'm in love
But you don't see when I'm falling down, slowly burning out
And the light and crowds and cameras in my face are getting louder
And I need some time
You say, "Why?"

[Pre-Chorus]
Well, don't you see that
Lately, I've been fading?
I can't breathe inside this cage

[Chorus]
You took the man in me
You took his sanity
You stole the last of any light inside his eyes
You really made me bleed
Blood on those ivory keys
You stole the only part of me I ever liked

[Post-Chorus]
You took the man in me
Where is the man in me?

[Verse 2]
Unbelievable, unforgivable
How you promised me the world and, when I turned around, you ripped it away
Everything was a game
And you don't need any sympathy, any more energy
Nor have I ever had better reasons for leaving something so displeasing

Even the sweetest words, they were treason
'Cause you just lied to my face

[Chorus]
You took the man in me
You took his sanity
You stole the last of any light inside his eyes
You really made me bleed
Blood on these ivory keys
You stole the last of any part I ever liked

[Post-Chorus]
You took the man in me
Where is the man in me?

[Bridge]
Where's that man?
Where is he?
Yes, that man you stole from me
Where's that man?
Where is he?
Yes, that man

[Chorus]
You took the man in me
You took his sanity
You stole the last of any light inside his eyes
You really made me bleed
Blood on these ivory keys
