Take this cold heart of mine
Take this man who wants to shine

What's that word in your mouth
I can't hear you when you shout

I cannot take what you cannot give

Everybody's gonna have to hurt somebody
Everybody's gonna be somebody
Baby, I'm the one
Baby, I'll be gone

I've always loved you without words
So many things you've never heard

But I need no license for living
I've got my papers in heaven

You cannot take what I cannot give

Now that my thoughts have settled down
A seed is growing in the ground

I'm not the friend you're looking for
I'm something less or something more
