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.
You were the one who made me lose control
Just when I needed to be on my own
You had an answer, but no alibi
You're fellin' sorry `cause there's no time to lie
So what, you deserve everything that you got
You think I'm gonna be there, but I'm not
So take it any way you want it
Take it any way you please
Take it any way you want it
But I don't think you wanna bother me
Don't bother runnin' through the old routine
Your words are weak and they don't mean a thing
You had your chances and you threw `em away
You said the turnaround was in fair play
So what, you deserve everything that you got
Ya' think I'm gonna be there, but I'm not
So take it any way you want it
Take it any way you please
Take it any way you want it
But I don't think you wanna bother me
I don't wanna be the one accused
You never thought you'd see the day
It'd come back on you
You hate to say that maybe you were wrong
You want contentment, but ya' can't be that strong
You see the shadow on the window blind
But that shadow will never be mine
So what, you deserve everything that you got
Ya' think I'm gonna be there, but I'm not
So take it any way you want it
Take it any way you please
Take it any way you want it
But I don't think you wanna bother me
Take it any way you want it
Take it any way you please
Take it any way you want it
But I don't think you wanna bother me
