The knife comes down on the chopping board
The vegetable is cut into two pieces
Like us
And I'm spread out all over the floor
But i don't want to be here anymore
I'm not going to argue with something i don't understand
Gonna go like the steam rising from the stove
Out the window
Into the night where truth is the ice on my face
Go on take away your touch
Go on freeze up and leave me melting
Go on take away the indecision
But you can't have it back
'coz i won't give it back
No you can't have it back
'coz i won't give back
What you gave
And risk can be addicting when it doesn't pay off
and risk can be tempting when it haunts your eyes
And I didn't mean to construct a challenge around you
But you threw one out
And i love extremes
Go on take away your touch....
But you can't have it back.....
And it may take a lifetime of questions
And i may live denying the answers
And love may grow in definition
Every day
But you can't have it back........
