Gave It All Lyrics by Linney

2018

[Verse 1]
I've been playing nice my whole life
It’s everything I know how to be
Outside of disapproving eyes I finally learned to breathe
I never knew I looked at myself so differently

[Chorus]
Still I gave it all
Gave it all away
'Til there was nothing left
Nothing left for me
How did you know that I was broken?
Know that I couldn't see?
That everything I gave to you was stealing it from me

[Verse 2]
I learned to take the blame
It felt easier that way
But I’ve cursed with every comment
I have drowned in every word you'd say
I had them tattooed on my skin when I wish they'd ricocheted

[Chorus]
Still I gave it all
Gave it all away
'Til there was nothing left
Nothing left for me
How did you know that I was broken?
Know that I couldn't see?
That everything I gave to you was stealing it from me

[Bridge]
I'm sorry that you'll never get to know me…
I'm sorry that you’ll never get to know me…

[Chorus]
’Cause I gave it all
Gave it all away
'Til there was nothing left
Nothing left for me
How did you know that I was broken?
Know that I couldn’t see?
That everything I gave to you was stealing it from me

[Outro]
Still I gave you all
Gave you all of me
