Take what you will but promise me that
You will leave me with more than you gave
Because you didn't give anything
And I'd like to hold onto some of my face
And I know that it's not a delicate flower
Or the prettiest thing that has been,
But I've grown quite fond of the thing
And plan on continuing using it
So I'll open my door just a little bit more
For to give you the room that you need,
Just don't let the door go and hit you
Where the good Lord split you
When you finally take your leave
It's funny how it seems to get the things you need
The only thing to do is let go of something
And almost every time it's something you were hiding
Just because you thought you had to protect what you worked for
But that's not the best thing to do
No, you've got to believe
That sometimes what you need is gonna find you
And so the love that went wrong in terrible saga
That was loosed by the cannons of blame
Should show you by now that you should change
Your reason for staying and holding so close to that thing
And hopefully now the unusual flower
And the person that you look to blame
Will release you and teach you
And cease to mistreat you
And make peace with the things that you gave
