You can have it, I don't want it, and when you've got it, I'll be gone

It won't matter what you're saying when the damage has all been done 
  
Em7             D/F#           G              A  
  Can't seem to keep the faith, as if that's all I need to do 
Em7          D/F#          G             A - Asus - A 
  I'd rather walk away than take what belongs to you 
  
You can have it, I don't want it, and when you've got it, I'll be gone 
It won't matter what you're saying when the damage has all been done 
  
Some words will cut you down like you were only in the way 
Why should I stand ths ground, it won't hurt as much to say 
  
You can have it, I don't want it, and when you've got it, I'll be gone 
It won't matter what you're saying when the damage has all been done 
  
Sometimes we're blinded by the very thing we need to see 
I finally realized that you need it more than you need me
