Take, take, take my love
I'll give you the stars above
You say more, more, more, more, it's never enough
So, I say here, here's my heart
A priceless work of art
You say me, me, me, me, that's the saddest part
I could surround you with the Sun
But you'd grab it from my hands
I give you all I have, you'll take all you can
And no one gets what they want
We're so entangled and entwined
It's too late to draw the line
It's getting harder to define what's yours and what's mine
So, I say break break break this trust
You're addicted to the rush
I say burn, burn this bridge till it's ashes and dust
I could surround you with the Sun
You'd grab it from my hands
And give you all I have, you'll take all you can
And no one gets what they want
Little bird with broken wing spy in the house of love
Oh, I tried to let you in, but no it was never enough
Little bird with broken wing spy in the house of love
I could give you everything, but no it was never enough
It was never enough
I could surround you with the Sun
Like you're worth more than I am
And give you all I have, you'll take all you can
And no one gets what they want
No no
No no
No one gets what they want
No one gets what they want
No one gets what they want
No one gets what they want
