Take What I Can Get - Matthew Mayfield

In these moments of silence I see your two sides Your inner peace, your inner violence And I'm scared of what I see 'Cause you're just like me Fallen angels love to sing Of their memories Broken dreams and broken wings I'm so scared of what I hear Your songs fall out of me like tears What more can I do? No one ever sees this side of you In all your little lies I know there's truth And all these foolish things you do When you ask me to leave And I fall to my knees And I'm beggin' you, please What more can I do? No one ever sees this side of you Maybe it's not right, but it's still true And all the foolish things you do I'll never stop loving you In these moments of Madness and helplessness In these hours of darkness And loneliness I still see the light in you I still see it shining through What more can I do? No one ever sees this side of you In all your little lies I know there's truth And all these foolish things you do When you ask me to leave And I fall to my knees And I'm beggin' you, please What more can I do? No one ever sees this side of you Maybe it's not right, but it's still true All the foolish things you do I'll never stop loving you Is it ever too late? Has it been too long? To swallow your pride and Admit that you were wrong Is it ever enough? When you ask me to leave And I fall to my knees And I'm beggin' you, please What more can I do? No one ever sees this side of you In all your little lies, I know there's truth And all these foolish things you do When you ask me to leave And I fall to my knees And I'm beggin' you, please What more can I do? No one ever sees this side of you Maybe it's not right, but it's still true And all the foolish things you do I'll never stop loving you (Never stop, never stop loving) (Never stop, never stop loving you) (Never stop, never stop loving) (Never stop, never stop loving you) (Never stop, never stop loving) (Never stop, never stop loving you) (Never stop, never stop loving)

Good times for a change See, the life I've had can make a good man bad So please, please, please Let me get what I want Lord knows it would be the first time Haven't had a dream in a long time See, the life I've had can make a good man bad So, for once in my life, let me get what I want Lord knows, it would be the last time Lord knows, it would be the first time

One, two, three Why are you hanging on so tight To the rope that I'm hanging from? Off this island, this was an escape plan (this was an escape plan) Carefully timed it, so let me go And dive into the waves below Who tends the orchards? Who fixes up the gables? Emotional torture from the head of your high table Who fetches the water from the rocky mountain spring? And walk back down again to feel your words and their sharp sting And I'm getting fucking tired The capillaries in my eyes are bursting If our love died, would that be the worst thing? For somebody I thought was my saviour You sure make me do a whole lot of labour The calloused skin on my hands is cracking If our love ended, would that be a bad thing? And the silence haunts our bed chamber You make me do too much labour You make me do too much labour Apologies from my tongue, and never yours Busy lapping from flowing cup and stabbing with your fork I know you're a smart man (I know you're a smart man), and weaponise The false incompetence, it's dominance under a guise If we had a daughter, I'd watch and could not save her The emotional torture, from the head of your high table She'd do what you taught her, she'd meet the same cruel fate So now I've gotta run, so I can undo this mistake At least I've gotta try The capillaries in my eyes are bursting If our love died, would that be the worst thing? For somebody I thought was my saviour You sure make me do a whole lot of labour The calloused skin on my hands is cracking If our love ends, would that be a bad thing? And the silence haunts our bed chamber You make me do too much labour All day, every day, therapist, mother, maid Nymph then a virgin, nurse then a servant Just an appendage, live to attend him So that he never lifts a finger 24-7, baby machine So he can live out his picket fence dreams It's not an act of love if you make her You make me do too much labour All day, every day, therapist, mother, maid Nymph then virgin, nurse and a servant Just an appendage, live to attend him So that he never lifts a finger 24-7, baby machine So he can live out his picket fence dreams It's not an act of love if you make her You make me do too much labour All day, every day, therapist, mother, maid (The capillaries in my eyes are bursting) Nymph then virgin, nurse and a servant (If our love died, would that be the worst thing?) Just an appendage, live to attend him (For somebody I thought was my saviour) So that he never lifts a finger (You sure make me do a whole lot of labour) 24-7, baby machine (The calloused skin on my hands is crackin') So he can live out his picket fence dreams (If our love ends, would that be a bad thing?) It's not an act of love if you make her (And the silence haunts our bed chamber) You make me do too much labour
