What You Are

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.

And when you wanted me

I came to you

And when you wanted someone else

I withdrew

And when you asked for light

I set myself on fire

And if I go far away I know

You'll find another slave

Cause now I'm free from what you want

Now I'm free from what you need

Now I'm free from what you are

And when you wanted blood

I cut my veins

And when you wanted love

I bled myself again

Now that I've had my fill of you

I'll give you up forever

And here I go, far away

I know you'll find another slave

Cause now I'm free from what you want

Now I'm free from what you need

Now I'm free from what you are

Then a vision came to me

When you came along

I gave you everything

But then you wanted more

Now I'm free from what you want

Now I'm free from what you need

Now I'm free from what you are

Hey, now I'm free from what you want

Now I'm free from what you need

Now I'm free from what you are
