Take Care of Yourself - The Posies

Maybe you never saw much of me As you’re creeping around your history

It’s true — I wasn’t always with you

I was so gone but you weren’t forgotten

That’s why I’ve been trying to make it up to you in later years

I hope a father’s what I am But rationalizing’s not my aim

Just to pick you up and carry all your pain

And give you wings and not to Always get the better of The other side, ain’t that what you call love?

Take Care of yourself

Do everything you can so we don’t lose ya Showing me off all your side effects

And keeping your face like a silhouette in blue

Is all we’re gonna get

But keep it in mind in your last regrets

As you’re blowing away like an untethered balloon

And drifting high forever

Is that the side that turns you on?

To see we missed you after all you’re gone?

Take Care of Yourself

Do everything you can so we don’t lose ya If you think I was letting you die

Well Baby I told you a lie

Well maybe I’d tell you a lie

If only to keep you alive

You’re writing your own prescription

Riding the lines of a minor fiction

If anyone ever could spare to lose a detail

Filling your heart with the facts you’re facing

Draining away as your blood’s escaping

You could make it last forever

They say that the last time feels like pleasure

Feeling a smile from your unsuccessful…

Breathing every memory

As I’m always to prevent your harm

These words you mock me when you cut into your arms
