lyrics

Everyone's filling up my head with ignorance
Telling me living like the dead is common sense
Tired of dreaming life instead of living it
Waking with nothing but regret and giving in

And it's getting harder to ignore them now
So I'll just write them all out

'Cause you can hate me now
But I'll take what you give
I'll take what you give to me
And you can put me down
But I'll take what you give
I'll take what you give to me
And when it all goes down
I will be where I need
I'll be where I need to be
And you'll be high and dry
Wishing I didn't take what you gave to me

Now, I'm on top and looking down at hateful eyes
Feeding on jealousy is how I get so high
Nothing can keep me off the path I've got in mind
Now I just sit back, and I laugh every time they try

And it's getting harder to ignore them now
So I'll just write them all out

'Cause you can hate me now
But I'll take what you give
I'll take what you give to me
And you can put me down
But I'll take what you give
I'll take what you give to me
And when it all goes down
I will be where I need
I'll be where I need to be
And you'll be high and dry
Wishing I didn't take what you gave to me

You think you're bringing me down
You're only lifting me up
So, please, keep running your mouth
'Cause I just can't get enough
You think you're bringing me down
You're only lifting me up
So, please, keep running your mouth
'Cause I just can't get enough

And it's getting harder to ignore them now
So I'll just write them all out

'Cause you can hate me now
But I'll take what you give
I'll take what you give to me
And you can put me down
But I'll take what you give
I'll take what you give to me
And when it all goes down
I will be where I need
I'll be where I need to be
And you'll be high and dry
Wishing I didn't take what you gave to me
