you gave this to me
then you took it away (took it away)
it ran right through me
then you took it away (took it away)
you gave this to me
then you took it away (took it away)
you made this true to me
then you took it away (took it away)

i cant see
all i dont have in front of me
hell, i cant even see
the forest only for the trees
when all i seem to believe
are the things you've said to me

why did you give this to me
and then take it away (take it away)
why would you make this true to me
and then throw it away (throw it away)
it all goes running through me
and then its taken away (taken away)
why do I do this to me
could you take it away (take it away)

if you would just stay
without the pieces of this game we play
why not be here............today
why not be here..............with me
you thought to say this to me
you should've just put it away (put it away)
but you sent it through me
now i cant get it away (cant get it away)
i let you mean this to me
and i cant break it away (or make it stay...in me....)

i let you.........be....
why cant you........see...
that you're still inside........of me....
cuz i gave this to you
then you threw it away (threw it away)
blew it away........
when i turned away............
if there's.....a way
i wish there was a way....
for me to kill this today.......
without denying myself the privilege to say
that i am not okay
i'm sick and tired of being the fray
letting the sadness mold me like clay
i've been thrown away
enough times now to see
that in this place of my wants, needs and pleas.....
there is........no want.......or need............for me
