The Mayfield Four
"Mars Hotel"

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 could take my heart and soul
She could take my hand to hold
But why'd she have to
Take advantage of me?
(She took my heart)
I tried to pay for all the things
She could want or ever need
Don't make me pay
For all the past

She took my heart
She took my soul
(She took my heart)
She took my fragile hand to hold
(She took my soul)
She took advantage all the time
(She took advantage all the time)
I'll take her back cause
Her love makes me blind
(Me blind, me blind, me blind)
