take it away

You get too drunk so you can say what you mean

Tell me everything you know will only hurt me

In your arms I've taught myself not to feel it all the way

And on your lips I tell myself that it's never gonna stay

Oh, when you take it away

You know it's almost worse than never having it at all

And oh, when you hold on to me

You know it only makes me ache more once you let go

I'll be here waiting so patiently

But it's just not fair when you whisper sweet things

Hear a song and think of me

Think of everybody else

And I'll try to fit your fantasy

Be a better version of myself

Oh, when you take it away

You know it's almost worse than never having it at all

And, ooh, when you hold on to me

You know it only makes me ache more once you let go
