|
Maybe you never saw much of me |
|
As you're creeping around your history |
|
It's true, |
|
I wasn't always with you |
|
I was so gone but you weren't forgotten |
|
That's why |
|
I've been trying to make it up |
|
To you in later years |
|
I hope a father's what |
|
I amBut rationalizing's not my aim |
|
Just to pick you up and carry all your pain |
|
And give you wings and not to |
|
Always get the better of the other side |
|
Ain't that what you call love? |
|
Take care of yourself |
|
Do everything you can so we don't lose ya |
|
Showing me off all your side effects |
|
And keeping your face like a silhouette in blue |
|
Is all we're gonna get |
|
But keep it in mind in your last regrets |
|
As you're blowing away like an untethered balloon |
|
And drifting high forever |
|
Is that the side that turns you on? |
|
To see we missed you after all you're gone? |
|
Take care of yourself |
|
Do everything you can so we don't lose ya |
|
If I said |
|
I was letting you die |
|
Well, baby, |
|
I told you a lie |
|
Well, maybe |
|
I'd tell you a lie |
|
If only to keep you alive |
|
You're writing your own prescription |
|
Riding the lines of a minor fiction |
|
If anyone ever could spare to lose a detail |
|
Filing your heart with the facts you're facing |
|
Draining away as your blood's escaping |
|
You could make it last forever |
|
They say that the last time feels like pleasure |
|
Feeling a smile from your unsuccessful |
|
Breathing every memory |
|
As I'm always to prevent your harm |
|
These words you mock me when you cut into your arms |
|
Take care of yourself |
|
Do everything you can so we don't lose ya |
|
Take care, take care of yourself |
|
Do everything you can so we don't lose ya |
|
If you think |
|
I was letting you die |
|
Well, baby, |
|
I told you a lie |
|
Well, maybe |
|
I'd tell you a lie |
|
If only to keep you alive |
|
Well, maybe |
|
I'd tell you a lie |
|
If only just to keep you alive |
|
Take care, take care of yourself |
