William Fitzsimmons - Took Lyrics






Oh my God it's over
Smiling devil on my shoulder
Cut the cord for the leaving
Fatherless for a season

How we break long division
I will miss all her children
Fall from grace and your favor
From now on only stranger

But you took your breath from me
But you took your breath from me

Cast my bones to the casket
Tell her how long it lasted
Hold a place in the mortar
Lay her down here my daughter

Root her seed to another
I was her native mother
Never thought I could save her
Please remind her I made her

    Oh my God it's over
    Smiling devil on my shoulder
    Cut the cord for the leaving
    Fatherless for a season

    How we break long division
    I will miss all her children
    Fall from grace and your favor
    From now on only stranger

    But you took your breath from me
    But you took your breath from me

    Cast my bones to the casket
    Tell her how long it lasted
    Hold a place in the mortar
    Lay her down here my daughter

    Root her seed to another
    I was her native mother
    Never thought I could save her
    Please remind her I made her

    I have been riddled with heartbreak for the last few years. I have felt emotionally void from loss. William makes the melancholy bearable. The only artist that captures my feelings completely.

  17. Z.... S....

    This is so beautiful. I have been a huge fan of yours since the MySpace days. Your music keeps getting better and is always so emotionally driven, I love it. It's been a joy to see your style develop and blossom. I could listen to this on repeat all day.
