Lyrics Preface (Take It All Away) - The Beautiful Ones

Preface (Take It All Away)

Its all changed since the birth of desire
I’ve touched the sky and I’ve felt the fire
I’ve loved, I’ve lost, I’ve been burned alive
Now it’s a different world I see through these eyes
Love and pain
Are one in the same
Take it all away
No one cares when you hit the ground
They keep you down just to keep you around
They close their eyes and look the other way
They pretend they’re not the reason for your pain
Kiss of betrayal
Take it all away
I just want to feel again
This is a story of a man
Who fell in love and lost everything
So what’s the point of giving yourself
If it’s all for nothing
