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 sh**
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
'Cause 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?
