Take What You Own

I'm giving my heart to you
Handing it over on a plate
I cut it out so slowly
Carefully with the blade,

I think it may still be beating
But I have no use for it anymore
You stole it from me years ago
Crushed it many times

Here, take it.
Take it from my hand
I'm holding it out to you
Why don’t you understand?


Isn’t it what you always wanted?
I thought that’s what it was
The way you reached inside me
Made it hard for me to stand


You've made me feel so foolish,
Done it yet again,
I'm finding it hard to breathe now.

And as you no longer want it
And I don’t need it anymore,

I’ll just lay down nice and quietly
Just lay down on the ground.
