Taking only what you offer
Taking only what you give
Taking only what you offer
As you teach me how I should live
Taking only what you offer
Taking only what you give me
Taking only what you offer
Cuz I know none of this comes free
None of this comes free
The silence in this house
Shows a mistake has been made
The violence in myself
Proves that I’m the one to blame
But I know you care
Or I know you try
But we’re trapped in a life
That’s just a lie
Taking only what you offer
Wanting it to satisfy me
Taking only what you offer
But you know I cannot quite believe
I cannot quite believe
The silence in this house
Shows a mistake has been made
The violence in myself
Proves that I’m the one to blame
But I know you care
Or I know you try
But we’re trapped in a life
That’s just a lie
But in my vision of myself
I wait for no one
In my vision of my life
I’m not the lonely one
In my vision of myself
I wait for no one
I wait for no one
I wait for no one
The silence in this house
Shows a mistake has been made
The violence in myself
Proves that I’m the one to blame
I know you care
Or I know you try
But we’re trapped in a life
That’s just a lie
