Lyrics

Taking It All Away

Oh, you sentimental fool Yes, you sentimental fool Love those broken veins Made you so afraid Of that wishful wishing well Well, now you're in misery and in pain Well, now you're in misery and in pain So she broke your heart and you let her die Well, that's your name and that's the game 'Cause they're taking it all away They're taking it all away They're taking it all away 'Cause they're taking it all away They're taking it all away They're taking it all away They're taking it all away Ah, taking it all away They're taking it all away Ah, taking it all away They're taking it all away They're taking it all away...
