The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Baby don't believe it
Oh, it's in your eyes
I can see the weakness
You don't have to hide
I can take you under
Under my wing
'Cause your voice gives me a song
That I love to sing
Baby, they build you up
Only to tear you down
Don't give up
Baby don't believe it
Baby don't believe it
Baby, they build you up
Only to tear you down
Baby don't believe it
Baby don't believe it
Oh, it's good for nothing
You were just a child
Ready to explore
And everything you saw
Looked like an open door
A place you can remember
You'd love to go back
But you can't even comprehend
That it's all in the past
Baby, they build you up
Only to tear you down
Baby don't believe it
Baby don't believe it
Oh, it's good for nothing
Put your heart in my hands
And I won't hurt you
Put your heart in my hands
I promise not to
Put your heart in my hands
I'll lift you up, you'll fly away
Fly away, lift you up
Oh, they build you up
Only to tear you down
Don't give up
Baby don't believe it
Oh, it's good for nothing
I'll never build you up
Only to tear you down
Baby don't believe it
Baby don't believe it
Oh, it's good for nothing
I'll never build you up
Only to tear you down
Baby just believe it
Baby just believe it
Oh, it's good for something
I'll never build you up
Only to tear you down
Oh, it's good for nothing
And I love you the way you are
