You don't have to crush me   You don't have to put me down   You don't have to be the way you are   I know that it's hard   Things are never what they seem   As life goes on things might change   I hope I change my ways      You say that I'm selfish, it's me I aim to please   I have no heart and I do not care   There's no one else just me   You don't have to crush me   You don't have to put me down   You don't have to be the way you are      You've judged and tried me ten times over   And you told me that I'm cheap   You've said that I should get a life   Get a life, just leave      You don't have to crush me   You don't have to put me down   You don't have to crush me   You don't have to put me down   You don't have to crush    You don't have to put me down   You don't have to    You don't have to put me down      I know that there's no point in fighting   Fighting with you   I don't want to let you bring me down again      I'd like to see you happy but it seems   You're bent on crushing me   Crushing me   Crushing me   It's the day after you burnt me and   The smoke still hasn't cleared   I don't know what to say    You brought a man to tears      You don't have to crush me   You don't have to put me down   You don't have to crush me (x7)   Crush me (x3)
