They say growth comes in fits and starts

One day I'll fix my battery and all my parts

Until then, I'll escape in you

She’s everything I ever dreamed she’d be

But my system's overloaded, I can't breathe

Cause I'm still escaping you

I am not a stranger to the dark side

If you break me down far enough you'll see mine, what I hide

You can tear down the walls that I've built up

But I'll give you hell in exchange for love

Cause I am automated leave a message

I am a robot by design

Program my mind until I'm numb enough

Reroute the circuits til I lose your touch

The night you walked away I swear I went completely blind

My life was technicolor now I'm stuck in black and white

You were my light, my last lifeline

But now I gotta get out, I’m erasing you

I am not a stranger to the dark side

If you break me down far enough you'll see mine what I hide

You can tear down the walls that I've built up

But I'll give you hell in exchange for love

Cause I am automated leave a message

I am a robot by design

I don’t feel anything I’ll leave you lonely

You love the memory but you don’t know me

I don’t feel anything I’ll leave you lonely

You love the memory but you don’t know me

I am not a stranger to the dark side

If you break me down far enough you'll see mine what I hide

You can tear down the walls that I've built up

But I'll give you hell in exchange for love

Cause I am automated leave a message

I am a robot by design
