Without Me
Fame On Fire Lyrics

Found you when your heart was broke
I met you when you were dealing with a heartbreak

I filled your cup until it overflowed
I gave you so much love and attention that you had more than enough

Took it so far to keep you close (keep you close)
I went to great lengths to keep you close to me

I was afraid to leave you on your own
I didn't want to leave you alone, I was scared to lose you

I said I'd catch you if you fall (fall)
I promised to be there for you and support you, especially during tough times

And if they laugh, then fuck 'em all (all)
I don't care what anyone else thinks or says, as long as you're happy

And then I got you off your knees
I helped you move on from your struggles and become more confident

Put you right back on your feet
I helped you stand up for yourself and be strong

Just so you could take advantage of me
But now I realize that you were only using me for your own gain

Tell me, how's it feel sittin' up there?
How does it feel to be successful and famous, while leaving me behind?

Feeling so high, but too far away to hold me
You may be successful, but you're still missing something meaningful in your life

You know I'm the one who put you up there
Remember that I was the one who helped you climb to success

A name in the sky, does it ever get lonely?
Is fame and success really fulfilling, or do you still feel empty inside?

Thinking you could live without me
You believed you could make it without me, but now you realize you were wrong

Baby, I'm the one who put you up there
I played a big role in your success, don't forget that

Gave love 'bout a hundred tries (hundred tries)
I kept trying and trying to make our love work, but it was never enough

Just running from the demons in your mind
You were struggling with internal battles and I couldn't really help you

Then I took yours and made 'em mine (mine)
I took your problems and made them my own, hoping to help you better

I didn't notice 'cause my love was blind
I didn't see how much you were using me because I was blinded by love

I'm sad inside, but I know it's for the best, right?
Leaving you may have hurt me, but it was ultimately the right decision

You had to realize where you drew the line
You needed to understand there were boundaries in our relationship

I would cross the line a thousand times
I would do anything for you, even if it meant crossing my own boundaries

You've got what I need, bae, I need your spotlight
I'm still drawn to you and your success, but for selfish reasons

Along the lines of social suicide
Staying with you may hurt my reputation, but I still want to be with you

I refuse to die not by your side
You're too important to me to let go, even if it means sacrificing myself

So I'll take what I can from you, then I'll hide
I'll take what I can get from you, and keep it a secret

And save the 'Lucid Dreams' for another time
I'll deal with the pain and heartbreak later, when I'm alone

I still hate it when you're not there
I still miss you and want you in my life

This life's not fair, took advantage of that
I realize now that you took advantage of my love and kindness
