“Take What You Can”

I wish I knew how to tell you this story
But every time I try
It gets choked up in my throat
Ends up in flames
Blows up in my face

Isn’t there more than what you handed me
Isn’t there a part that says take what you need
Take all you can before nothin’s left
The bottom of the barrel is what I never wanna see
I never want to see an ending
Take all you can
While you can
Or you’ll have nothing

I know my story
But is it really a story
When there is no ending
There are chapters that open and close
Some have been longer than others
They seem like forever
They seem like nightmares
As I try to fight my way out

Isn’t there more than what you handed me
Isn’t there a part that says take what you need
Take all you can before nothin’s left
The bottom of the barrel is what I never wanna see
I never want to see an ending
Take all you can
While you can
Or you’ll have nothing

First round isn’t always the greatest
But this was meant to be
You knew this as well
when you took me in
Your life, your story
Is intertwined with mine
As long as you want to keep it like that
Cause I know I want it this way
Isn’t there more than what you handed me
Isn’t there a part that says take what you need
Take all you can before nothin’s left
The bottom of the barrel is what I never wanna see
I never want to see an ending

You can burn the pages all you want
I’ll rewrite them as I go
Rewrite them as I go

Isn’t there more than what you handed me
Isn’t there a part that says take what you need
Take all you can before nothin’s left
The bottom of the barrel is what I never wanna see
I never want to see an ending
Take all you can
While you can
Or you’ll have nothing

Take all you can
While you can
Or you’ll have nothing
But I can rewrite as I go
