"The More You Get, The Less You Are" lyrics

There's a bridge over the other side of town
That I'd walk over if I want to see my friends
But it burnt down

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

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

And I know now
The more you get
The more you get
The more you get
The less you are

"There's a million different sides of me", she said
There isn't any point in ever getting angry
So I try not to the best that I can

I knew a couple people in the program
I knew a couple people who stayed in
And they won't ever leave

I was only just a child, I didn't know
What to do with anything I had
So I gave it away

And I know now
The more you get
The more you get
The more you get
The less you are

We know now
The more you get
The more you get
The more you get
The less you are

Oh I need to surrender but
I can't see a thing and
I need to believe you but
I don't know how to
Want to surrender
Could you show me how to
I need to believe you but
I can't feel a thing

I feel nothing
I feel nothing
I feel
I feel
