Love Took The Last Of It

(album: No Good Left To Give - 2020)

I think I knew it from the start
Eventually everything would fall apart
But you believed in the stars
You never thought the lights would guide you back to where you are

I lost my flame and so I told you what you want
Talked my way into a place where I felt safer I thought
I never meant to cause you any harm
I just wanted to speak it so maybe I'd believe it

Build the blame and lay it at my feet
I'd break my fingers just to point them all at me
It's my fault, spread the salt and I'll be gone
But the wounds are left to bleed

And it was never really right, your hand in mine
But at the time it's what I needed for a stable mind

Kept my secrets and I covered them in lies
Had my reasons and I made sure they would stay in disguise
I was bleeding cause they cut me like a knife
Your heart was always beating but I wasn't meant to keep it

Build the blame and lay it at my feet
I'd break my fingers just to point them all at me
It's my fault, spread the salt and I'll be gone
But the wounds are left to bleed
And I can fill the space but never find my peace
You take your aim and take the better parts of me
It's my fault, spread the salt and I'll be gone
But the wounds are left to bleed

And now we're both left with an emptiness
All alone with no good left to give
Love took the last of it
Sometimes I wonder if I'm meant for this
Will I ever have enough to give?
Love took the last of it
And now I'm cold and stiff

Build the blame and lay it at my feet
I'd break my fingers just to point them all at me
It's my fault, spread the salt and I'll be gone
But the wounds are left to bleed
And I can fill the space but never find my peace
You take your aim and take the better parts of me
It's my fault, spread the salt and I'll be gone
But the wounds are left to bleed

No good left to give
No good left to give
Love took the last of it
