Take Away

(Verse 1)
Quiet, my dear
For they can still hear your lies. (Your lies.)
Smile, my dear,
I just want to see that sparkle in your eyes. (In your eyes.)
(Hush, our time is running out,
Now's the time to lose control.)

(Chorus)
Take away from me,
Every possible flaw.
Take away from you,
The lies and the applause.
You don't need it,
I can't take it.
Take away me from you.

(Verse 2)
Sleep, it's a gentle thing
When you're no longer sleeping next to me. (Next to, right next to.)
Dreams, don't last forever
Seems like forever is up. (Forever's finally over.)
(Hush, our time is running out,
Now's the time to lose control.)

(Chorus)
Take away from me,
Every possible flaw.
Take away from you,
The lies and the applause.
You don't need it,
I can't take it.
Take away me from you.

(Bridge)
And when the lights burn out,
You'll know where you went wrong.
My last words ringing in your ears:
"This is it, this is the end."

(Chorus)
Take away from me,
Every possible flaw.
Take away from you,
The lies and the threats,
The audience roaring with applause.
Take away me from--
Take away from me,
Every possible flaw.
Take away from you,
The times yo actually cared.
Take away me from you.
(Take away, take away.)
Take away me from you.
(Take away, take away...)
