lyrics

If it shines and sparkles you're sold
Hide away cuz you think you've struck gold
Keep it safe, keep it safe from your soul
Cuz you know if you don't will go

Look at me straight as you're backing away
Show your face show me what you are made of
Ya know they say the truth comes to light
Well I hope it shines right in your eyes

And I think you should know
That your two hand can hold
Everything you need
But you won't
You'll hand it to me

I think it's safe to say that you're stalling
You got your traps but nobody is falling
It's not the way you thought this would be
Guess you thought they'd fall right at your feet

And I think you should know
That your two hand can hold
Everything you need
But you won't
You'll hand it

Well heavy lifting hearts around is not what I'm about
It's the time you owe yourself you see
So you can figure out
Why everything you say you want aint adding up to be
Cuz you never learned the difference what you want and what you need

And I think you should know
That your two hand can hold
Everything you need
But you won't
You'll hand it to me
