Losing Something

Admit it. Nothing good in life comes free
So go on and take what you need
The going rate is getting high these days on all the sacrifices I have made
Hey, calm center, are you out there?
I could really use the balance, some answers
And maybe just a bit of what I’ve earned
I know I’m wrong to ask, «Would you marry me?»
«No, not right now.»
I know I’m wrong to ask, «Would you carry me?
I’m just too heavy.»
Love is every time you find a little bit of happiness in another’s happiness
Through all the pain of in giving something up. I can’t get enough
Cause if we’re losing something it should be to each other
If we’re losing something it should go to another
If we’re losing something it should be to each other
If I’m losing something, gonna give it to somebody I need
I bit it. More than I could ever chew
So go on and choke on the truth
I know you’re shrew’d and need to find some grace
But maybe I’m the one that’s being tamed
Hey, bold courage, are you still there?
I could use the resolution, some back bone
And maybe just a lesson I should learn
I know I’m wrong to ask, «Would you marry me?»
«No, not right now.»
I know I’m wrong to ask, «Would you carry me?
I’m just too heavy.»
Love is every time you find a little bit of happiness in another’s happiness
Through all the pain of in giving something up. I can’t get enough
Cause if we’re losing something it should be to each other
If we’re losing something it should go to another
If we’re losing something it should be to each other
If I’m losing something, gonna give it to somebody I need
I’m looking for compromise when I’m looking in your eyes
And I tell you that I do believe that it’s somewhere in between our dreams
Love is every time you find a little bit of happiness in another’s happiness
Through all the pain of in giving something up. I can’t get enough
Cause if we’re losing something it should be to each other
If we’re losing something it should go to another
If we’re losing something it should be to each other
If I’m losing something, gonna give it to somebody I need
