[Verse 1] Nobody stole it Nobody broke in Nobody held a gun to my head I handed them my mornings I handed them my nights Carried them with me into bed I told them what I wanted I showed them what I feared Every place I’ve been And everyone I’ve loved Every little weakness Every angry word Every lonely night When nobody else was up [Pre-Chorus] They never asked for money That’s what made it feel alright Funny how the things that cost the most Don’t always have a price [Chorus] I THOUGHT THE PRODUCT WAS FREE I NEVER READ THE PRICE They didn’t want my money They wanted pieces of my life Every minute Every secret Every weakness I supplied I THOUGHT I WAS THE CUSTOMER TILL I LEARNED WHAT THEY WERE BUYING [Verse 2] I used to know what silence was I used to let my mind get bored Now there’s always something waiting Every time I reach for more A buzz beside my dinner A headline before bed A hundred people talking When I should be in my own head I know where strangers went today I know what strangers ate I know who strangers sleep beside And who they fucking hate But ask me what the evening sounded like Or how the sunset looked I couldn’t tell you I never fucking looked [Pre-Chorus] They never made me stay here They never locked the door They just learned exactly what would make me Come crawling back for more [Chorus] I THOUGHT THE PRODUCT WAS FREE I NEVER READ THE PRICE They didn’t want my money They wanted pieces of my life Every minute Every secret Every weakness I supplied I THOUGHT I WAS THE CUSTOMER TILL I LEARNED WHAT THEY WERE BUYING [Bridge] I know a thousand strangers I know when they get married When they lose somebody When they leave I know what makes them furious I know what they believe But I can’t remember the last time I sat across from someone I loved And gave them everything I had My eyes My ears My thoughts Without reaching for that little glowing screen The second the room got quiet Maybe that’s what scares me most Nobody took it from me I gave it away [Final Chorus] I THOUGHT THE PRODUCT WAS FREE I NEVER READ THE PRICE They didn’t want my money They wanted pieces of my life Every morning Every evening Every memory passing by I THOUGHT I WAS THE CUSTOMER TILL I LEARNED WHAT THEY WERE BUYING And maybe I can blame them For knowing how to keep me inside But there’s one thing I can’t blame On anybody else tonight Nobody stole my attention Nobody took my time I KEPT HANDING THEM MY LIFE ONE FUCKING MINUTE AT A TIME [Outro] Put it down Let the room get quiet Let nothing happen Let somebody talk Look them in the eyes Maybe boredom wasn’t empty Maybe silence wasn’t broken Maybe we were supposed to have A little bit of our lives That nobody else could see.
