The Takers

(album: Absolutes - 2009)

What makes these boys fall hard
Over all the girls they have fought and won
These kings work hard and long
Just to ensure that their girls don't run
Oh no, nobody has taught them to love slow
They're crying out at the streets below

Why don't you stay with me
I think you can save this beast
But I'll leave you in an empty room
Honey that's what takers do
I'm a thief and I'll take you

What makes these monsters cry
You can see the gold reflecting in their eyes
Yeah their chests are heaving, skin stretched tight
Greedy hands grab what feels right
Oh no, nobody taught them to let go
They don't know

Why don't you stay with me
I think you can save this beast
But I'll leave you in an empty room
Honey that's what takers do
I'm a thief and I'll take you

If you stay
You would break
You're way too innocent to take
After these violent days
You still love
And I still take

Stay with me
I think you could save this beast
But I'll leave you in an empty room
Honey that's what takers do

I'm gonna take you and you'll stay with me
Well I think you could save this beast
But I'll leave you with an empty room
Honey that's what takers do
I'm a thief and I'll take you
