(White/Cop/Nabb)
Verse 1
Back in ’72 there was just me and you, just a sixteen year old bride with a blemish or two
But then it came to pass what we felt just couldn’t last forever
Your love was hit and run, and when all was said and done we were much too young
Verse 2
We’ve both changed now, grown up together yet apart
Moved in ever wider circles, never to return to where it started
You tell me there’s nothing left to lose, or salvage from the wreckage
But you covered the tracks of your wayward shoes
Left me fumbling in the dark for clues picking out the remnants, I can use
Verse 3
Take my heart and take my soul, don’t stand and watch me bleed
Take it now and go they’re something I don’t need
They were yours anyway they were given to you many yesterdays ago
And I, one thing I ask don’t take what you don’t own, don’t you take what you don’t own
Chorus
Now we go away to bury, all the feelings that we shared
I say a few words over them, ‘cause they’ve left me feeling scared
I know they’ll come to haunt me and catch me unawares
To haunt me and taunt me merely just a boy who sits and stares into space
Without a flicker of emotion to register on my face
Verse 4
Sorry to go now, soon we’ll rise, where’s the point in staying in a trap we both despise
Well I can’t help feeling bitter but let me try and understand
Can’t hide it, it’s in the way I stand, it’s in the trembling of my hand
Tried it but you can’t change what I am
Verse 5
Take my heart and take my soul, don’t stand and watch me bleed
Take it now and go they’re something I don’t need
They were yours anyway they were given to you many yesterdays ago
But I, one thing I ask don’t take what you don’t own, don’t you take what you don’t own
Please don’t take what you don’t own
