Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Is this what you wanted, you got what you needed, all that's mine
Take it or leave it, everything's even but what's left of my life
Everything's wrong I know, I can see it in your eyes again
Taking control of my soul and my life
Cause you take away, you take away, what more can you take
It feels like I've been here before
All that you do seems to abuse, you won't cut me anymore
I'm bruised and I'm bleeding, it's kept me from seeing all your lies

You kill all that you touch and this time it's too much, it all comes around
Take away
You want it

All from me
You wanted it all
