Lyrics Hamilton Leithauser

Hamilton Leithauser

The Smallest Splinter

Of course you decided to stand on your own

When the pain has come and is gone

Oh I guess I probably love you more than anyone

Show me the man who would have shown more

Give me the lion's share of your love

But save the smallest splinter locked up away forever

If that's the love you wish for

Show me the man who won your whole heart

Hit me again 'cause I've been so numb

Each day is like the other

I sit alone and wonder what's left to ask for

Give me a kiss and tell me I'm alright

Show me the man who never disappoints

They say it's all or nothing, I say I take what I can

I never play the victim

Hit me again cause I've been so numb

Give me the lion's share of your love

Well now I decided to take charge and keep some order

Against this endless river

But I do care now

Give me the lion's share of your love

I never ask for nothing, no more

Give me the lion's share of your love

Hit me again and I'll let you know, I think?
