The Takers Lyrics
What makes these boys fall hard
Over all the girls they have fought and won
These kings work hard and long
Just to ensure that their girls don't run
Oh no, nobody has taught them to love slow
They're crying out at the streets below
Why don't you stay with me
I think you can save this beast
But I'll leave you in an empty room
Honey that's what takers do
I'm a thief and I'll take you
What makes these monsters cry
You can see the gold reflecting in their eyes
Yeah their chests are heaving, skin stretched tight
Greedy hands grab what feels right
Oh no, nobody taught them to let go
They don't know
Why don't you stay with me
I think you can save this beast
But I'll leave you in an empty room
Honey that's what takers do
I'm a thief and I'll take you
If you stay
You would break
You're way too innocent to take
After these violent days
You still love
And I still take
Stay with me
I think you could save this beast
But I'll leave you in an empty room
Honey that's what takers do
I'm gonna take you and you'll stay with me
Well I think you could save this beast
But I'll leave you with an empty room
Honey that's what takers do
I'm a thief and I'll take you
Over all the girls they have fought and won
These kings work hard and long
Just to ensure that their girls don't run
Oh no, nobody has taught them to love slow
They're crying out at the streets below
I think you can save this beast
But I'll leave you in an empty room
Honey that's what takers do
I'm a thief and I'll take you
You can see the gold reflecting in their eyes
Yeah their chests are heaving, skin stretched tight
Greedy hands grab what feels right
Oh no, nobody taught them to let go
They don't know
I think you can save this beast
But I'll leave you in an empty room
Honey that's what takers do
I'm a thief and I'll take you
You would break
You're way too innocent to take
After these violent days
You still love
And I still take
I think you could save this beast
But I'll leave you in an empty room
Honey that's what takers do
Well I think you could save this beast
But I'll leave you with an empty room
Honey that's what takers do
I'm a thief and I'll take you

I love this song! To me this song is about men who do whatever they can to get a girl in bed then leave them broken hearted. "But I'll leave you with an empty room." The song is hopeful in that the man wants to find a girl who make him want to change his ways." Well I think you could save this beast"
This reminds me of a movie called Instinct. A Man goes to Africa and becomes close with a group of gorillas and becomes of their family, the gorillas end up getting poached and the man kills the poachers. The man becomes a beast and loses all connection with the ones he loves. The man calls all human being takers
