Take Anything You Want

I feel so sad that I can’t be With both eyes I still don’t see A smile from you sets me free Take anything you want away from me. When I’m alone there remains a hole It is the place where I once kept my soul I feel like a fish swimming in a fish bowl Take anything you want I need to feel whole. I look beyond today wish for tomorrow With all that has gone I feel quite hollow I try to pay back things I just borrow Take anything you want release all the sorrow. Time stands still yet passes me by I can’t help myself God knows I try I think about you I break down and cry Take anything you want I just need to fly. I used to hold the world in the palm of my hands I used to think everything was within my command I try to hold on but feel like I’m less of a man Take anything you want I will try to understand. I stand to stand up and see on my own I wish I didn’t have to stand here alone The wind creeps up and chills to the bone Take anything you want this soul needs a home.
