All I Can Take

If I said I loved you would you stay a little longer What do I need to say for this life to go on You said you were happy with me All I can take is that you stay Tell me what to say, what you need Why quiet for so long and then you leave

All I can take is nothing less than this What’s the tragedy that’s causing you to leave I’ve said and done everything you asked of me Now you’re leaving me for no one else Where did I go wrong before this day

All I can take is just one more moment Nothing to lose by staying for another day What’s taking you so far away You stopped smiling so long ago, is it really me What lies have you told me, what lies have you told yourself All I can take is the truth you conceal so well No more hiding in yourself to run away

Did I ever have a chance with you Was there ever going to be a forever All I can take is the dream I saved for you and me Was I foolish to take this further than a dream All I can take is to wake up to a reality you want for me and you Sing to me like you used to, all I can take is a whisper of your voice

All I can take you’ve taken away What’s left in this life so far from you All I can take is no more tears You made me smile once All I can take is the joy of you
