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.
