The Smallest Splinter
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.
Of course you decided to stand on your own
When the pain has come and is gone
Oh I guess I probably love you more than anyone
Show me the man who would have shown more
Give me the light and share up your love
But say the smallest splinter locked up the way for ever
If that's the love you wish for
Show me the man who won your whole heart
Hit me again cause I've been so numb
Each day is like the other
I sit alone and wonder what's left to ask for
Give me a kiss and tell me I'm allright
Show me the man who never disappoints
They say it's all or nothing, I say i take what I can
I never play the victim
Hit me again cause I've been so numb
Give me the light and share up your love
Well now I decided take charge and keep some order
I guess it's an endless river
But I do care now
Give me the light and share up your love
I never ask for nothing, no more
Give me the light and share up your love
Hit me again and I'll let you know about me
