Take Everything (Help Me)
Everyone leaves eventually,
That, there is no denying
I believe that everyone you love
Takes a little piece of your heart
As each of them go
But they keep coming into your life
Gaining your trust
Breaking down your walls
I give too many chances
So it keeps happening
And I believe that it always will
Until all of my heart is missing
Scattered about with the ones
Who carry the fragments in their pocket
That cross my mind everyday
Until there is nothing left
For me to love with
Until I am nothing but
A lobotomized being
Who walks about
But can feel nothing but
The welcomed serenity of
Pulsing numbness
I'm tired of losing
Little pieces of myself
So just take it all
Hollow out my chest
And fill it with empty promises
Please take my love
So I can no longer give it
To the ones
Who take it for granted
Hurt me to the fullest extent
Help me cry out all my tears
So that my eyes may be as dry
As the Sahara
And never shed another teardrop
For the ones who are not deserving
Help me take the expression "Heartless"
To a literal meaning
That makes me known as stone cold
Make me impossible to love
Give me the ability to do as you do
To take someone's love and give it away
Like it was nothing
When it should have been everything
That, there is no denying
I believe that everyone you love
Takes a little piece of your heart
As each of them go
But they keep coming into your life
Gaining your trust
Breaking down your walls
I give too many chances
So it keeps happening
And I believe that it always will
Until all of my heart is missing
Scattered about with the ones
Who carry the fragments in their pocket
That cross my mind everyday
Until there is nothing left
For me to love with
Until I am nothing but
A lobotomized being
Who walks about
But can feel nothing but
The welcomed serenity of
Pulsing numbness
I'm tired of losing
Little pieces of myself
So just take it all
Hollow out my chest
And fill it with empty promises
Please take my love
So I can no longer give it
To the ones
Who take it for granted
Hurt me to the fullest extent
Help me cry out all my tears
So that my eyes may be as dry
As the Sahara
And never shed another teardrop
For the ones who are not deserving
Help me take the expression "Heartless"
To a literal meaning
That makes me known as stone cold
Make me impossible to love
Give me the ability to do as you do
To take someone's love and give it away
Like it was nothing
When it should have been everything
