[Verse 1]

Found you when your heart was broke

I filled your cup until it overflowed

Took it so far to keep you close

I was afraid to leave you on your own


[Pre-Chorus]

Said I'd catch you if you fall

And if they laugh, then fuck 'em all

And then I got you off your knees

Put you right back on your feet

Just so you could take advantage of me


[Chorus]

Tell me, how's it feel sittin' up there?

Feelin' so high, but too far away to hold me

You know I'm the one who put you up there

Name in the sky, does it ever get lonely?

Live without me

Go on and live without me

Baby, I'm the one who put you up there

I don't know why, yeah


[Verse 2]

I gave love 'bout a hundred tries

Just runnin' from the demons in your mind

Then I took yours and made 'em mine

I didn't notice 'cause my love was blind


[Pre-Chorus]

Said I'd catch you if you fall

And if they laugh, then fuck 'em all

And then I got you off your knees

Put you right back on your feet

Just so you could take advantage of me


[Chorus]

Tell me, how's it feel sittin' up there?

Feelin' so high, but too far away to hold me

You know I'm the one who put you up there

Name in the sky, does it ever get lonely?

Live without me

Go on and live without me

Baby, I'm the one who put you up there

I don't know why, yeah


[Bridge]

You don't have to say just what you did

I already know

I had to go and find out from them

So tell me, how's it feel?


[Chorus]

Tell me, how's it feel sittin' up there?

Feelin' so high, but too far away to hold me

You know I'm the one who put you up there

Name in the sky, does it ever get lonely?

Live without me

Live without me

'Cause baby, I'm the one who put you up there

I don't know why, yeah
