|
Nearing one in the morning, nearing one, |
|
The streetlights were smoking, |
|
the streetlights were smoking like a gun |
|
In your eyes was a warning, in your eyes |
|
In your step was a splinter |
|
And every word was tinder for your fire |
|
Beneath your skin was the bloodrush, beneath your skin |
|
It would sell you in the moment, |
|
It would sell you for the cheapest bid, |
|
You thought you could take heaven, |
|
You thought you could take heaven with a gun, |
|
But the loving hand strikes the hardest, |
|
The loving hand strikes the hardest soul |
|
And I know you just like a novel |
|
penned by my own hand |
|
I will give and give, until its time to take |
|
It was for your sake, it was for your sake |
|
I will give and give, until its time to take |
|
It was for your sake, it was for your sake |
|
Cause to save your life, your heart must break |
|
Sometime just after daybreak, when the light had come |
|
You found your home was a museum, |
|
A memoir to the things you used to love, |
|
You're the center of attention, |
|
The center of attention in an empty room, |
|
All you wanted was a rescue, |
|
All you needed was an open tomb. |
|
I will give and give, until its time to take |
|
It was for your sake, it was for your sake |
|
I will give and give, until its time to take |
|
It was for your sake, it was for your sake |
|
Cause to save your life, your heart must break |
|
It was for your sake, |
|
It was for your sake. |
|
It's a give and take, |
|
It's a give and take. |
|
It was for your sake, |
|
It was for your sake. |
|
It's a give and take, |
|
It's a give and take. |
|
Cause to save your life, your heart must break |
