[Verse 1]
Come on in, take a seat
Tell me how you feel this week
Are you cursed? Are you blessed?
Are you still inside the mess?

[Refrain]
All those feelings wrapped around you
Hold you down so you can't break through

[Verse 2]
It's a trap, so don't ask
It's a shadow on your back
It don't burn, it don't bleed
Still it cuts ya at the knee

[Refrain]
All this pressure that surrounds you
Holds you down but you know you gotta break through

[Chorus]
Hey, c'est la vie
Remember me? I made you
Dressed and trained you
Hey, it's bittersweet
You can't kill me with kindness
I don't buy it
Strip down, show me flesh and bone
(Strip down) 'Cause now I own you
[Verse 3]
Take a breath, hold it in
Now look up, let's begin
Lesson learned, take a turn
Now you come around again

[Refrain]
All those feelings wrapped around you
Hold you down so you can't break through

[Verse 4]
Time is up, take your shot
'Cause your story's all you got
Don't back down, don't say no
Just exhale and let go

[Refrain]
All this pressure that surrounds you
Holds you down but you know you’ve gotta break through

[Chorus]
Hey, c'est la vie
Remember me? I made you
Dressed and trained you
Hey, it's bittersweet
You can't kill me with kindness
I don't buy it
Strip down, show me flesh and bone
(Strip down) 'Cause now I own you
[Bridge]
(You can't kill me with kindness, you know I don't buy it)
(You can't kill me with kindness, you know I don't buy it)
Strip down, until you're flesh and bone
'Cause now I own you

[Chorus]
Hey, c'est la vie
Remember me? I made you
Dressed and trained you
Hey, it's bittersweet
You can't kill me with kindness
I don't buy it
Strip down, show me flesh and bone
(Strip down) 'Cause now I own you

[Outro]
Now I own you
Now I own you
Now I own you
You know I own you
