"You've Made Me What I Am" lyrics

You've Made Me What I Am

You say that I'm no angel
Oh, I know it much too well
How can you look into my eyes
And ask me why I failed?

You know that I still love you
And I let you drag me down
How can you talk about me
When you've made me what I am

You've made me what I am but look
Who everybody blames
When you know you're the reason
I hang my head in shame

Oh, you tell me to forget you
And to stop my hanging round
I'd be ashamed if I were you
You've made me what I am

You never really loved me
But I found that out too late
I've tried to find the way to change
My love for you to hate

You act like you don't know me
When there's someone else around
How can you hold your head up
When you've made me what I am?

You've made me what I am but look
Who everybody blames
When you know you're the reason
I hang my head in shame

Oh, you tell me to forget you
And to stop my hanging round
I'd be ashamed if I were you
You've made me what I am
