This life
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 couldn't even bring yourself
To stay, oh no
You had to go
Spoil it all
I know you had to go
Now I find these endlessly
Colourblind days
To fill
You never will
(Take this life)
Take this life
Take it all
In your hands
You were mine
I could smile
You understand, fine
Again
I dream
You come to me
(Come back to me)
And comfort me
But now I dream
Where did this time go
Where did this time go
Did your love go
I know
You have to go
Spoil it all
And now I know
You never will
(Take this life)
Take this life
Take it all
In your hands
You were mine
I could smile
You understand, fine
(Take this life)
Take this life
Take it all
In your hands
You were mine
I could smile
Again
Just what you said was cold advice
I discovered sticks go with knives
I discovered I could've die in your chains
Still I feel, so won't you stay
Oh, babe
(Take this life)
Take this life
Take it all
In your hands
You were mine
I could smile
You understand, fine
(Take this life)
Take this life
Take it all
In your hands
You were mine
I could smile
