Lyrics
The More You Want The Less You Get
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.
And all the things you want the most
Sometimes you got to learn to let it go
Maybe it will come right back to you
When you least expect it to
The more you want
The less you get
The less you get
It adds up and it feels like it never ends
Empty hands were all you knew
Just trying to keep your heart full
Maybe it wasn't meant for you
Maybe you needed something new
The more you want
The less you get
The less you get
It adds up and it feels like it never ends
They would love to watch you rot inside the ground
And tear you from the inside out without a sound
Is the grass always greener on the other side
I see you lose yourself thinking about it a hundred times
It's just what you want but not what you need
It's just what you want but not what you need
The more you want
The less you get
The less you get
It adds up and it feels like it never ends
