Well I hear you're livin' swell

Couple GRAMMYs on your shelf

I really try to be so happy for you

I used to occupy that place

A little trophy on your case

'Cept you kept me better hidden from view

Tell me what I took but this open spirit

Because you wouldn't hear it

I'd say take a look but you never saw me

Except when you were hungry

My body broken for your songs

My investment paid off well, for you

Yeah I knew you would excel

Like you were made to and I'm truly glad

But you took so much from me

And I'm still pickin' up the pieces

And I'm startin' to see just how much they're worth

Tell me what I took but this open spirit

Because you wouldn't hear it

I'd say take a look but you never saw me

Except when you were hungry

My body broken for your songs

My body broken for your songs

My body broken for your songs

My body broken for your songs

Take, eat in remembrance of me

I paid dearly

May this song carry the peace

That I still seek

Tell me what I took but this open spirit

Because you wouldn't hear it

I'd say take a look but you never saw me

Except when you were hungry

My body broken for your songs

My body broken for your songs

My body broken for your songs

My body broken for your songs

Take, eat in remembrance
