ANTHONY GREEN – The More You Get, The Less You Are Lyrics

There’s a bridge over the other side of town
That I’d cross over if I need to see my friends
But you burnt it down

So I never saw any one of them again
And in their place I filled with things that I know I
I could hold on to

I was only just a child, I didn’t know
What to do with what I had, so I
So I threw it away

I know that
The more you get
The more
The more you get
The less you are

I know
The more you get
The more
The older you get
The less you are

There are fifteen different sides for me, she said
There isn’t anything you learn from being angry
So don’t

I knew a couple people in the program
I knew a couple people who stayed in
They’ll never leave

There is anything I know you can be sure of
Said everything, you spent your life forget
Will all just go away, someday

You know
The more you get
The more
The more you get
The less you are

I’m guessing that
The more you get
The more
The more you get
The less, the less
The less you are
