Story behind the song
I wrote the first part of the song based on feeling low about my music, but the next day, the more usual and optimistic me came out to improve things.
Lyrics
You built me up, and tore me down,
Yeah, you built me up, and tore me right down.
When I thought I was flying, I never left the ground.
Well, I'd filled me up, all full of hope,
Yeah I'd bigged me up, so full of hope.
Now it turns out, I'm just some kind of joke.
Well, I'd conjured up, all kinds of dreams,
I'd invented myself all kinds of dreams,
And if dreams come true, it won't be today.
You built me up, and tore me down,
Yeah, you built me up, and tore me right down.
I just keep on flying, I never touch the ground.
Well, I'd filled me up, all full of hope,
Yeah I'd bigged me up, so full of hope.
So I'll keep on smiling, even if I'm just a dope.
Well, I'd conjured up, all kinds of dreams,
I'd invented myself all kinds of dreams,
Because dreams come true, I'll never give up.
