Gap

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.

So put a spanner it in the works,

Of your mind,

It's easier to work,

But I don't mind,

You're better in defeat so,

Just don't try

To take away all the things

So dear in my life.

I have to break down all

The corners of the world.

Don't heap this praise on me,

I know I don't deserve it.

What's all this i see?

Yeah you're leaving right beside me,

And I miss you, and I need you.

I do.

But don't go and take my love,

I won't let you, I'm saying please don't go.

Don't go take my love,

I won't let you, I'm saying please don't go.

I'm leaving your lover now,

It's your turn.

Gonna see your mother now,

I hope she's okay.

You're better in defeat so,

Let's us not try

To take away all the things so dear in our lives.

I have to break down all the corners of the world.

Don't heap this praise on me,

I know I don't deserve it.

What's all this I see?

Yeah you're leaving right beside me,

And I miss you, and I need you.

I do.

Don't go and take my love,

I won't let you, I'm saying please don't go.

Don't go take my love,

I won't let you, I'm saying please don't go.

All of my life,

Trying to understand.

All of my life,

Trying to hold a hand.

I have to break down all,

The corners of this world.

Don't heap this praise on me,

I know I don't deserve it.

What's all this I see?

Yeah you're leaving right beside me,

And I miss you, and I love you.

That's true.
