Going Spaceward
“All of Me”
All of me
Why not take all of me?
Can't you see
I'm no good without you?
Take my lips
I want to lose them
Take my arms
I'll never use them
Your goodbyes
Left me with eyes that cry
How can I, how can I go on without you?
You took the part
That once was my heart
Why not take all of me?
You already took a little bit, so go ahead and take the rest of me
Take this heart that palpitated every time you messaged me
Take my bones. Break 'em down. Add 'em to your recipe
Take my ****. Cut 'em off. Call it a vasectomy
You said to me that you and I were a necessity
Tell it to the fella who you're kissing on instead of me
Maybe I should let it go. Maybe I should let it be
Maybe I'm insane giving in to all my jealousy
But, girl, I hate to see you kissing with him
I get these phantom pains like I'm missing a limb
You can catch me in a jail cell, pissing in tin
'cause I'll be trapped ‘til I find a love like this one again
You know, you really tried to see me cry. You took a part of me
So go ahead and bleed me dry. Hit an artery
I know it's hard to see the way that I feel
You took a bite, but you didn't want to stay for the meal
All of me
Why not take all of me?
Can't you see
I'm no good without you?
Take my lips
I want to lose them
Take my arms
I'll never use them
Your goodbye
Left me with eyes that cry
How can I go on, dear, without you?
You took the best
So why not take the rest?
Go on, take all of me
Now, don't get me wrong. You have the right to reject me
I won't let a bit of bitterness invade or infect me
You don't need to ever settle. Always go for the best thing
But still, it's like a heart attack, the way that my chest stings
I'm not entitled to the title of boyfriend
But how you gonna play me like a toddler's toy and
Bottle my joy and freeze it like an ice cube?
Not that I deserve you just because I've been a nice dude
But, when I see you go, my bed feels colder
I feel it in my knees, toes, head, and my shoulders
After giving a bit of my heart away. Will I get better? It's hard to say
Nothing will ever be right. Sick in the night 'cause you're far away
Maybe it'd be best to just accept that this is through
Stop the pain and rid my brain of every memory of you
So, my medulla oblongata’s gotta get a lobotomy
But honestly, I probably would rather that you go and take...
All of me
Why not take all of me?
Can't you see
I'm no good without you?
Take my lips
I want to lose them
Take my arms
I'll never use them
Your goodbye
Left me with eyes that cry
How can I go on, dear, without you?
You took the part
That once was my heart
Why not take all of—
No need to stall, love—
Why not take all of me?
