So put  a spanner in the works,
of  your  mind
It's  easier to work,
But I  don't mind,
You're  better in defeat so,
Just  don't try
To take  away all the things
So  dear  in my life.
I have  to break down all
the  corners  of the world.
Don't  heap this praise on me,
I know  I don't deserve it.
But  what's all of this I see?
Yeah  you're  leaving right beside me,
And  I miss you, and I need you.
I do.
But  don't  go, take my love,
I  won't  let you, I'm saying please don't go.
Don't go,  take my love,
I  won't  let you, I'm saying please don't go.
 ( )
Well  leave your lover now,
it's  your turn.
And  see your mother now,
I hope  she's okay.
You're  better in defeat so,
let's  not try
To take  away all the things
so  dear  in our lives.
All  of my life,
trying  to understand.
All  of my life,
trying  to hold a hand.
