From the recording Demon Lover
This song was written at a time I felt I lost everything. I suppose it is when we have nothing left to lose that we find the surrender. And this is my song of surrender. "Take Everything, I don't need it, where I am going! I hope it brings you happiness, I hope you find success, where you are going."
Lyrics
When everything’s been taken
And there’s nothing left to fight for
I just fall into the fire
And let myself burn
There’s a freedom in letting go
To what I thought I owned
There’s nothing left but skin and bones
And Remnants of my soul
Take everything I don’t need it where I am going
Hope it brings you happiness
Hope you find success
Where you are going
How can you destroy a love
And bleed it for financial gain
Take the roof out from over my head
Leave me standing in the rain
That’s O.K. I don’t need your burnt offerings
Your love could never satisfy me
I’m better off here with nothing
For within it lie the seeds to everything
Take everything I don’t need it where I am going
Hope it brings you happiness
Hope you find success
Where you are going
How can you destroy a love
And bleed it for financial gain
Take the roof out from over my head
Leave me standing in the rain
Once I believed I loved you
But I’ve got a lot to learn about love
It’s more than just the feelings
Of never having enough
You can’t fill the emptiness
I’ve been dragging along with me
You couldn’t right the wrongs of my past
And you couldn’t set me free
Take everything I don’t need it where I am going…
