for the taking

because i love you after all

since my heart broke apart

now we can hurt the same

that's when you leave me

that's when you go away

i saw that coming a mile away

do you think you're better than that?

i know you know you are

but you don't act like it

because i deserve the worst

since decisions are made for me

now we want the same thing

that's when you leave me

that's when you go away

i saw that coming a mile away

do you even think for yourself?

i know you know you don't

but you act like you do

because our intentions are the best

since we both fear going to hell

now we pray to the same deities

that's when you leave me

that's when you go away

i saw that coming a mile away

do you ever talk to your gods?

i know you think you do

but you don't act like it

because i am loved, not forgiven

since i learned to love myself

that's all i have for the taking
