I tore my hands on every stone
Built your world, not my own
Carved my kindness into steel
Gave you truth you couldn’t feel
But every step I tried to climb
You turned it all to rust and grime
All my mercy, all my drive
You killed it all and called it life
Gimme five, you did it right
You crushed my world without a fight
Everything I gave, denied
Good job, now walk outside
Gimme five, the joke’s on me
My good intentions set you free
Every tear, every sacrifice
All wasted in your paradise
You broke the bridge I tried to save
Dug the hole, and called it brave
My open heart became your toy
A silent weapon to destroy
You burned the meaning from my name
Turned devotion into shame
Now look around at what survives
Nothing but echoes of goodbyes
Every favor turned to dust
Every truth betrayed my trust
You want applause for what you’ve done?
Fine, here it is
You’ve won
Gimme five, you did it right
You stripped the color from my light
Everything I gave, denied
Good job, now step aside
Gimme five, this is the end
You were no lover, no friend
All my love you left to die
So take your praise… and say goodbye
Gimme five…
And get out of my life
