You say something's got a hold on you
You don't know what to say or do

You say; you never saw the best of me
You never saw what I could be, did you

And everything you learned is shit
You don't know what to do with it
Well, don't be such a Philistine
Let's eat the food and drink the wine

You wanted my ambition, you wanted my drive
I needed someplace I could rest
I needed somewhere I could hide
All the time

I say: Something's got a hold on me
I rarely know where I will be

I say; You never see what I can be
You only see what you will see, don't you

I don't know what to do or say
It wouldn't matter anyway

Cuz now we know that love is lost
It came at much too high a cost

I needed your attention, I needed your mind
You wanted some you could love
You wanted someone by your side
All the time

And everything is too much real
That isn't how it makes you feel
And now we know that love is lost
It came at much too high a cost

You wanted to ask me, you needed to know
If I just came along for the ride
Or needed someplace I could go
All the time

You never saw the best of me, did you?
