The Last Word
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 can have it, I don't want it and when you've got it I'll be gone
It won't matter what you're saying when the damege has all been done
Can't seem to keep the faith
As if that's all I need to do
I'd rather walk away
Than take what belongs to you
You can have it, I don't want it and when you've got it Ill be gone
It won't matter waht you're saying when the damege has all been done
Some words will cut you down
Like you were only in the way
Why shold I stand this ground
It won't hurt as much to say
You can have it, I don't want it and when you've got it Ill be gone
It won't matter waht you're saying when the damege has all been done
Sometimes we're blinded by
The very thing we need to see
I finaly realized
You need it more than you need me
You can have it, I don't want it and when you've got it Ill be gone
It won't matter waht you're saying when the damege has all been done
The damege has all been done
