lyrics

You've taken all the diamonds, taken all the pearls. All the pretty ribbons from all the pretty girls. You’d take the Mona Lisa, but her smile's fake. None of it is yours to take. You stole the jewel when she was young. You stole the human’s soul. Now she belongs to us, they’ve got to let her go. Yeah, I had to end it for your own sake. See, none of it was yours to take. You took me for a ride, and took up all my time. You might say that I’m liable to go hide. Who’d want someone like that? Someone so bold? I’m afraid I’ll never get back the second that you stole. You took my world and threw it on the street, so now this door is shut. It’s not the end. Your golden thread could lift you right back up. You could turn into a million pieces when the thread breaks. But none of it is yours to take. [break] It is what I am, and it is what you’ll be. You stole a second of my youth, but it’s not the end for me. Yeah, it is who I am, and it is who you can’t shake. But none of it was yours to take. No none of it was ever yours to take.
