If you must go, if you must say goodbye
then please, leave me something to remember you by
but no, not your heart, it's all torn up and scarred
it took most of the hurt, from what has torn us apart

If you must fly, if you must say goodbye
then please, leave me something to remember you by
but no, not your soul, it's all tattered and broke
besides, I think it's already sold

(chorus)
I'll just take your eyes (x2)
they're always mine, so I'll never ever forget
my greatest prize, I'll take your eyes, I'll take your eyes(x2)
I'll just take your eyes, I'll take your eyes (x4)

They were oh so pure, they were oh so divine
stayed open for the good and then closed for the fights
don't recall if they're green, don't recall if they're blue
but they're pure, that's how I want to remember you

I'll just take your eyes (x2)
they're always mine, so I'll never ever forget
my greatest prize, I'll take your eyes (x4)

(female vocal)
If it's better to remember me another way,
not as a girl on a mission to discover pain
then I believe that's it's best that you recall
a glimmer in my eye that never really shone at all,
ain't got shit but phones to call,
lies, I told em all, the motor missing from my bricks,
my edifice is known to fall, and my artifice is too, why I don't need someone, sometimes it feels to hard for me to prove.

See I'm incapable of staying put,
all these hounds are out to get me so my expertise is faking good I'm saving something beautiful, instead of maybe breaking you
tell me I should cut it out so fuck it I'll be taking too

Right here in the same room, but I'm a thousand miles apart
I ought to break through, but I doubt I have the heart
but I wanna feel, guess I'll have to wait to find
can't give you something real, so take my eyes
