You Took
The Church · Other Songs - The Church
You took a piece of my heart
And I don't know why
No, I don't know why
It was clear in coming here
I must have put
The horse before the cart
Before the cart
You took the lead from the start
You took the lead from the start
And I don't know why
No I don't know why
It was clear in coming here
I must have put
The skin before the heart
Before the heart
You took the rest of the day
You took the rest of the day
And I don't know why
No I don't know why
Now that it's all over
Now there's just
Some coldness in my way
It's in my way
You took the clubs and the spades
You took the clubs and the spades
And I don't know why
No I don't know why
It's a shame it's not a game
We're playing in
It's just the blurred crusade
The blurred crusade
