Made Me This Way Lyrics
I’m probably the villain in this book
And that’s a generous enlightenment
So when the hammer hits you
In the face in light of all of this
I bet I’ll have a better grasp
On all the shit you left me with
So maybe I'm just gullible
And lost a little step
I get the problem isn’t physical
But everybody’s hoping I’m a lost cause
Basically I’m giving up the ghost until
I see a sense of urgency that I’ve been craving most
Each night I fall to pieces
All day I pick them up again
It gets hard to find the creases
I know you made me this way
Can’t breathe!
Everything about you has me second guessing what I need
Stop me!
Never let them in because they’ll only double back
You don’t like the person I’ve become
Fine!
If I'm honest I don't like the way it turned
Fuck this!
Barely even here so let me look inside
Not another way to do or die
(Made me this way)
Each night I fall to pieces
All day I pick them up again
It gets hard to find the creases
I know you made me this way
You made me this way!
Fuck this!
You made me this way
(Made me this way)
(Made me this way)
Each night I fall to pieces
All day I pick them up again
It gets hard to find the creases
I know you made me this way
You made me this way!
And that’s a generous enlightenment
So when the hammer hits you
In the face in light of all of this
I bet I’ll have a better grasp
On all the shit you left me with
So maybe I'm just gullible
And lost a little step
I get the problem isn’t physical
But everybody’s hoping I’m a lost cause
Basically I’m giving up the ghost until
I see a sense of urgency that I’ve been craving most
All day I pick them up again
It gets hard to find the creases
I know you made me this way
Everything about you has me second guessing what I need
Stop me!
Never let them in because they’ll only double back
You don’t like the person I’ve become
Fine!
If I'm honest I don't like the way it turned
Fuck this!
Barely even here so let me look inside
Not another way to do or die
(Made me this way)
All day I pick them up again
It gets hard to find the creases
I know you made me this way
Fuck this!
You made me this way
(Made me this way)
All day I pick them up again
It gets hard to find the creases
I know you made me this way

Rhythm guitarist Bob James says of this track; "It's definitely a lot more aggressive," James said. "It's kind of a common theme throughout this whole album, as far as the tormented relationship, whether that's professional, romantic, or what have you... Usually we write from a slightly more compassionate place. Not intentionally, but inadvertently, we ended up having a lot of themes of mental health throughout it... This one's definitely a little bit more of like, 'I've been doing my part and now it's time for you to do your part,' kind of attitude. So I definitely think 'Made Me This Way' really exemplifies that."
