More Or Less
I want you more than my next breath
but less than freedom's sorrow.
I want you more than life or death which ever comes tomorrow.
I want you more than my next chance
but less than freedom's sorrow.
I want you more than fate or stance which ever comes tomorrow.
I want you more than my next bliss
but less than freedom's sorrow.
I want you more than hit or miss which ever comes tomorrow.
I want you more than my next dime
but less than freedom's sorrow.
I want you more than good or crime which ever comes tomorrow.
I want you more than my next meal
but less than freedom's sorrow.
I want you more than fake or real which ever comes tomorrow.
I want you more than my next dream
but less than freedom's sorrow.
I want you more than code or theme which ever comes tomorrow.
