John Legend
Gotta Take Your Life
[Verse 1]
These are the lessons that I have learned
Always read between the lines
Never meant to take it away
These are the lessons that I have learned
Always read between the lines
I don't give a damn what you say
You say you care but if you want some lessons
Well, here 'll be mine
These are the lessons that I havе learned
Always read bеtween the lines
I like you, I like you, I like you, I do
You might not, I really want you
I might not, I really want you
I'll love you when the feeling goes bad
I'll show you, oh I'm dreaming
That I'm just out here on my own
There something that I really can't tell
Well that we ain't gonna win, baby
You can come to me one time
We can blow all our tears
But you can come to me one time
No you can come to me, baby
Now, if you say you love me
And a vision comes my mind
What the hell is going on, uh-huh
Baby you're takin' your time
You think you're so cool
Nothing much to lose
You think you're so sharp
You think you're so fast, but–
[Chorus]
Sorry, sorry but I gotta take your life now
My-my, sorry, sorry, but I have to
Sorry, sorry but I gotta take your life now
My-my, sorry, sorry, but I have to
Sorry, sorry but I gotta take your life now
My-my, sorry, sorry, but I have to

[Verse 2]
Tell me how we know like we know
Where the money goes where the love goes
And this is where we work, this is what we do
We are not afraid anymore
And we stay for the day
With our hearts behind us
So many questions we have to answer
Our heads are so dizzy, we are falling down
So we lie and watch, and then we fall away
And then it's just another day
When you and I is another way
Oh, can you tell me can it be
How the hell can you lie
When I'm with you, you were always sleeping
And the promises you'd promised us
Well, they're only hollows with no strings attached
And the heartbreak we've been making
I guess our lives don't need to stay that way
And the way you look across the street tonight
I'll say, I didn't know you'd been there
And you wouldn't let your face just slide free
There's something deep inside
That says you're not just mad about me now
I knew you were mad about me, but–
[Chorus]
Sorry, sorry but I gotta take your life now
My-my, sorry, sorry, but I have to
Sorry, sorry but I gotta take your life now
My-my, sorry, sorry, but I have to
Sorry, sorry but I gotta take your life now
My-my, sorry, sorry, but I have to

[Verse 3]
We were lucky in our love for someone
Little did I tell you, I said a loving is wrong
But a loving is right when you need a friend
From now on, little ones grow up
My life would be much too simple
The secrets that I promise are too precious
My life is not too far from your eyes
I'll walk down the road and I'll smile long story short
I'll share the lies with you but say what's true
I'll share the pain with you but I won't deny
After we have saved each other's wounds
And he has built a world that's shining bright
He has promised just as true
After we have saved each other's wounds
And He has built a world that's shining bright
He has promised just as true
You wake up with a jaded moustache
You get out the last coat you wear
That's when I'll start a new one
I'll do the things you want me to
I won't start a new business model
I won't start a new game, but–
[Chorus]
Sorry, sorry but I gotta take your life now
My-my, sorry, sorry, but I have to
Sorry, sorry but I gotta take your life now
My-my, sorry, sorry, but I have to
Sorry, sorry but I gotta take your life now
My-my, sorry, sorry, but I have to
