You say you gave me the world on a string,
well take it away....
The stars, the moon, well I never asked for a thing
so take 'em away
'Cause the stars don't shine just for you anymore
And this smile and this laughter's not for you anymore
And if this life is the 'after' take me back to 'before'
Just take it away....Take it all...
Away.
The material things
just don't mean anything
I wanted love that was true
And if you can't provide
what my heart needs inside
baby,
I'm leaving you
Don't try to make me feel guilty
don't put up a fight
makin this feel like a crime
Don't you get on your knees
beggin' me please
Honey, I've done my time
You say you gave me a house and a home,
well take it away
Diamond and pearls, you put me up on a throne
well take 'em away
Everything that glitters isn't always gold
Every fairy tale story has a lesson to be told
You know what they say...
"be careful what you wish for"
I learned that today.
These warm, lovin' arms aren't for you anymore
And this tired, broken heart doesn't love you anymore
If this is 'happily ever after', take me back to 'before'
Just take it away
Take it all...
Away.
