This fever on my mind / I'm burning down inside
|
My luck may never change / Or so it seems that way
|
I know in seven years / This curse will disappear
|
Where has my ladder gone? I feel like I've been robbed
|
|
In taking everything from me now
|
I'm making over what I hoped to be, I know
|
This is my only folder left with all these words
|
You've taken everything from me now
|
|
You take my license plates / You've taken everything
|
The place where I belong / You take all my songs
|
You've taken what I wanted / The few things that I kept
|
I turned around to help someone / And then you helped yourself
|
|
In taking everything from me now
|
I'm making over what I hoped to be, I know
|
This is my only folder left with all these words
|
You've taken everything from me now
|
|
So take away the skin / You scratch until you win
|
And in this lottery / What is the prize for me?
|
I'd give you anything / But I can't match this happiness
|
What's right or wrong / Where do I belong?
|
|
In taking everything from me now
|
I'm making over what I hoped to be, I know
|
This is my only folder left with all these words
|
You've taken everything from me now
|
|
Where has my ladder gone? You take all my songs
|
Where do I belong?
|
In taking everything from me
|
