Warning
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.
It's only fair to give you a warning
That I only care at four in the morning
When you're the only one left
Three hours behind on the west coast
Why be so kind to a deaf ghost
What could you possibly get out of someone like me
Self-serving and self-preserving
I'm gonna take as much and give as little as I can
In my defense, I thought you were colder
Talking sense, shrugging your shoulders
While I was losing my mind, just trying to steal your attention
So sure you'd peel off this dead skin
It didn't happen in time
I got under yours
I'm losing your self-abuse and
I'm gonna take as much and give as little as I can
Sorry she took everything you want
Left a shell of a man that you'll be
And I sit by
Maybe your heart can pump blood enough for both of us
Just watch yourself cause I doubt it
No, I doubt that I'll forget her
And pull it together now
So I won't let my wishes come out like lies
I was and will be a better guy
Too bad that we didn't meet back then when
I'm through healing and stopped feeling like I gotta take as much
Well like I gotta take as much and give as little as I can
This your warning
