Maybe I was destined to feel awkward and confused
Invited to the table but then wind up being used
You’d laugh at all my boyfriends just to date them later on
And I knew that you would do it but I always played along
You spun me, like a bottle
And you played me, like a drum
And I took it, like a target
It made me what I’ve become
Maybe I was fated to feel discontent and lost
Taking you for granted not considering the cost
I’d step up to your challenge then resign to being bored
And you knew that I would do it but so easily ignored
I spun you, like a bottle
I played you, like a drum
And you took it, like a target
It made you what you’ve become
(What you’ve become)
Maybe now the universe can make it all make sense
The things we do to others come back two fold, future tense
And all the pain you made me feel, I gave to someone else
And every act of kindness, it helped me repair myself
Who spins you, like a bottle
Who plays you, like a drum
Why do you take it, like a target
Till it makes you what you become
(What you become)
