Take What You Want
Unveiling Heart's Betrayal: Take What You Want by Larkin Poe
Lyrics
I feel you crumble in my arms
I sense your emotional breakdown while in my embrace
Down to your heart of stone
Referring to your unfeeling and unyielding nature
You bled me dry just like
You drained me emotionally, similar to how you never reveal your own pain
The tears you never show
Comparing the emotional drain to unshed tears
I feel you crumble in my arms
Reiteration of feeling your emotional collapse in my arms
Down to your heart of stone
Repeating the idea of your unyielding and stony-hearted nature
You bled me dry just like
Repeating the emotional drain analogy, tears hidden from display
The tears you never show
Reiteration of the tears never being shown, emphasizing emotional withholding
Why don't you take what you want from me?
Questioning why you don't just take whatever you desire from me
Take what you need from me
Encouraging you to take what you require and go
Take what you want and go
Repeating the idea of taking what you want and leaving
Why don't you take what you want from me?
Reiteration of the question about taking what you desire
Take what you need from me
Repeating the invitation to take what you need
Take what you want and go
Reiteration of the idea of taking what you want and departing
I never needed anything from you
Expressing independence, asserting that nothing was needed from you
And all I ever asked was for the truth
All that was asked for was honesty and truth
You showed your tongue and it
Describing a deceitful nature with a forked tongue
Was forked in two
Emphasizing the deceptive nature of your words
Your venom was lethal, I almost believed you
Describing your words as venomous and acknowledging a moment of belief
Yeah, you preyed on my every mistake
You exploited every mistake I made
Waited on me to break
Anticipating my emotional breakdown
Held me under hopin' I would drown
Subjecting me to difficulties, hoping I would succumb
Like a plague, I was wasting away
Comparing the emotional distress to a plague, causing deterioration
Tryna find my way out find my way out
Struggling to find a way out
I feel you crumble in my arms
Reiteration of feeling your emotional breakdown in my arms
Down to your heart of stone
Repeating the imagery of your unyielding and stony-hearted nature
You bled me dry just like
Repeating the emotional drain analogy, tears hidden from display
The tears you never show
Reiteration of the tears never being shown, emphasizing emotional withholding
Why don't you take what you want from me?
Repeating the question about taking what you desire
Take what you need from me
Repeating the invitation to take what you need
Take what you want and go
Reiteration of the idea of taking what you want and departing
Why don't you take what you want from me?
Reiteration of the question about taking what you desire
Take what you need from me
Repeating the invitation to take what you need
Take what you want and go, yeah
Reiteration of the idea of taking what you want and departing
Finally, came the day
Marking a turning point where I start giving my heart away
I start giving my heart away
Expressing the sacrifice despite the potential for heartbreak
Heaven sakes, my bones will break
Noting the fragility of the physical self, contrasting with the invulnerability of the soul
But you will never own my soul, no
Asserting that despite vulnerabilities, the soul remains untouchable
I feel you crumble in my arms
Reiteration of feeling your emotional collapse in my arms
Down to your heart of stone
Repeating the imagery of your unyielding and stony-hearted nature
You bled me dry just like
Repeating the emotional drain analogy, tears hidden from display
The tears you never show
Reiteration of the tears never being shown, emphasizing emotional withholding
