Lyrics
I Was
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 get it all through your way
You get it all you never fail
To get all that's mine for you
So I give you what you want me to
You make it up with ease you do
And everybody runs to you
Then you're grabbing my easy love
Then your making out that you're in love
So make it up and try and see
How's it really gonna be
You making it in time for you
You make it so it's lost on you
You can't afford this easy touch
You feel you cope and then you've had enough
So take it up and try and see
How's it really gonna be
I wonder if you ever see
All that you mean to me
If I hush it up will you begin
