Lyrics The Smallest Splinter - Hamilton Leithauser

The Smallest Splinter

Of course you decided to stand on your own
When the pain has come, and has gone
Oh, I guess I probably love you more than I want
Show me the man who would have shown more
Give me the lion’s share of your love
But see a smallest splinter locked up away forever
If that’s love you wished for
Show me the men who won your whole heart
Hit me again 'cause I’ve been sewn up
Each day is like the other, I sit alone and wonder
What’s left to ask for
Give me a kiss and tell me I’m alright
Show me the men who never disappoints
They say it’s all or nothing, I say I’ll take what I can
I’ll never play the victim
Hit me again 'cause I’ve been sewn up
Give me the lion’s share of your love
When the undecided takes charge and keeps some order
Against this endless river and I do care now
Give me the lion’s share of your love
I never asked for nothing no more
Give me the lion’s share of your love
Hit me again and I’ll let you know
