Mars Hotel Lyrics - Singles - The Mayfield Four

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 

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 

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
