Mayfield Four - Mars Hotel lyrics

rate me

I saw her in an empty bar

the smell of wine and cheap cigars

trigger visions of her face to this day

we tried to dance for years to come

but two can't lead and waltz as one

we loved and learned

and learned to love

but it was not enough

foolish pride got in our way

(chorus) She could take my heart and soul

she could take my hand to hold

but why'd she have to take advantage of me

I tried to pay for all the things

she could want or ever need

don't make me pay for all the past please

So now we're living far apart

I hope to god our paths don't cross

this may seem shallow..but her beauty makes me weak

I long to hold her once again

and reconcile and then give in

to realize that later on we made the same mistake

Hold on to the lessons you've learned

(Chorus) She could take my heart and soul

she could take my hand to hold

but why'd she have to take advantage of me

I tried to pay for all the things

she could want or ever need

don't make me pay for all the past

So much to tow

bogged down with all the history to hold

the blame fell hard on me

apologies were too short lived

she never really could forgive mistakes

She took my heart

she took my soul

she took my fragile hand to hold

she took advantage all the time

I'll take her back cause her love makes me blind
