Absorb Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Here's the deal, I knew it wasn't your fault
But you placed the blame on me, that was uncalled for
I've plenty empathy to try and lend you
You seem to stop trying, oh
Our karma took us here, we're in a pickle
But as long as we're sincere and never fickle
You've got a lit perspective
Of trying to listen to get out of this cycle, oh


[Pre-Chorus]
Ain't too proud to try
I'll hear you out, I'll make it sprout, grow
All the stupid shit and all the doubts all matter now, so

[Chorus]
Show me a piece of your mind
I'm a sponge and it's water time
I'll project a piece of my heart
Absorb all the love, absorb all the love

[Verse 2]
Feeling all the doom and all the thunder
'Cause the storms, they do consume, they cause a blunder
Even though we can't undo what's been established
You can learn from all the clouds

Maybe I've been too isolated
I can say the same for you, but we can make it
If we throw away our pride for just a second
It's okay to not be right
[Pre-Chorus]
Ain't too proud to try
I'll hear you out, I'll make it sprout, grow
All the stupid shit and all the doubts all matter now, so

[Chorus]
Show me a piece of your mind
I'm a sponge and it's water time
I'll project a piece of my heart
Absorb all the love, absorb all the love
Show me a piece of your mind
I'm a sponge and it's water time
I'll project a piece of my heart
Absorb all the love, absorb all the love

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
