Take this cold heart of mine
Take this man who wants to shine
What's that word in your mouth
I can't hear you when you shout

I cannot take what you cannot give

Everybody's gonna have to hurt somebody
Everybody's gonna need to be somebody
Baby, I'm the one
Baby, I'll be gone
Everybody wants to know where they belong
Everybody's got the right to get it wrong
Baby, I'm the one
Baby, I'll be gone

I've always loved you without words
So many things you've never heard
But I need no license for living
I've got my papers in heaven

You cannot take what I cannot give

Everybody's gonna have to hurt somebody
Everybody's gonna need to be somebody
Baby, I'm the one
Baby, I'll be gone
Everybody wants to know where they belong
Everybody's got the right to get it wrong
Baby, I'm the one
Baby, I'll be gone

Now that my thoughts have settled down
A seed is growing in the ground
I'm not the friend you're looking for
I'm something less or something more

Everybody's gonna have to hurt somebody
Everybody's gonna need to be somebody
Baby, I'm the one
Baby, I'll be gone

Baby, I'm the one
Baby, I'll be gone

Baby, I'll be gone
