Id never seen the inside of my heart

until you ripped me open with your two face glances

this time, this time there's something else

something fleeting that i can't seem to hold onto


i can't stand that i can't tell

how well i keep you satisfied


so go tell all your friends about me

i'm being half the man i can be

(and i can't take it with me)


everything has to be this game with you

soft, sweet and simple is impossible

we never knew or would believe how much we'd change

and second-guess the promises that brought us closer


listen up, girl if for the last time

forget "i love you," it's overdone


slow it down and put your pillow on the bedroom floor

cut the light it doesn't look like i'll be

going home anytime soon

we'll see if we can pick it up where we left off

i can't take it when i can't take it with me
