Fantine
You've never been weighed and then measured,
Found wanting,
You've been seen, found tough, and let be.
And before I go saying, "You'd make a bad lover,"
I think that I'll let you kiss me.
I cannot, in good conscious, wear white;
If I'm honest, my wedding dress needs to be black.
'Cause I've seen too much skin and the souls that live in it,
I fear I'm the bride you'll give back.
You take and you give,
You give and you take.
It's a simple give-and-take.
The cash on the dresser is money I make.
I love how you told me I was pretty...
They all do,
And it makes this smile easy to fake.
I act like you walked out the day that you found out
I only had six months to live.
But the truth of my sickness is honest: you've caused it,
So I know that you take and you give.
You take and you give,
You give and you take.
It's a simple give-and-take.
I'll grow back good if I break.
Until the day that I know I'm no better alone...
I guess this is just what it takes.
Found wanting,
You've been seen, found tough, and let be.
And before I go saying, "You'd make a bad lover,"

I cannot, in good conscious, wear white;
If I'm honest, my wedding dress needs to be black.
'Cause I've seen too much skin and the souls that live in it,
I fear I'm the bride you'll give back.
You take and you give,
You give and you take.
It's a simple give-and-take.
The cash on the dresser is money I make.
I love how you told me I was pretty...

And it makes this smile easy to fake.

But the truth of my sickness is honest: you've caused it,
So I know that you take and you give.

You give and you take.

I'll grow back good if I break.
Until the day that I know I'm no better alone...
I guess this is just what it takes.
