Take Care Of Yourself Lyrics - Blood/candy - Posies

Maybe you never saw much of me 

As you're creeping around your history 

It's true, I wasn't always with you 

I was so gone but you weren't forgotten 

That's why I've been trying to make it up 

To you in later years 

I hope a father's what I am 

But rationalizing's not my aim 

Just to pick you up and carry all your pain 

And give you wings and not to 

Always get the better of the other side 

Ain't that what you call love? 

Take care of yourself 

Do everything you can so we don't lose ya 

Showing me off all your side effects 

And keeping your face like a silhouette in blue 

Is all we're gonna get 

But keep it in mind in your last regrets 

As you're blowing away like an untethered balloon 

And drifting high forever 

Is that the side that turns you on? 

To see we missed you after all you're gone? 

Take care of yourself 

Do everything you can so we don't lose ya 

If I said I was letting you die 

Well, baby, I told you a lie 

Well, maybe I'd tell you a lie 

If only to keep you alive 

You're writing your own prescription 

Riding the lines of a minor fiction 

If anyone ever could spare to lose a detail 

Filing your heart with the facts you're facing 

Draining away as your blood's escaping 

You could make it last forever 

They say that the last time feels like pleasure 

Feeling a smile from your unsuccessful 

Breathing every memory 

As I'm always to prevent your harm 

These words you mock me when you cut into your arms 

Take care of yourself 

Do everything you can so we don't lose ya 

Take care, take care of yourself 

Do everything you can so we don't lose ya 

If you think I was letting you die 

Well, baby, I told you a lie 

Well, maybe I'd tell you a lie 

If only to keep you alive 

Well, maybe I'd tell you a lie 

If only just to keep you alive 

Take care, take care of yourself
