Lyrics
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
Cause you wouldn’t hear it
I’d say take a look but you never saw me
‘Cept when you were hungry
My body broken for your songs
My investment paid of 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
Cause you wouldn’t hear it
I’d say take a look but you never saw me
‘Cept when you were hungry
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
Cause you wouldn’t hear it
I’d say take a look but you never saw me
‘Cept when you were hungry
My body broken for your songs
My body broken for your songs
Take, eat in remembrance
