Take What You Give

Took a deep breath
Underwater
Watched the waves go by
Over and over

All the right things
At all the wrong times
Sink when I should swim
Too late to rewind

I don't know what I want or what I expected
I don't know how I got to feel so rejected

(It's the way that it is)
(You can't take what you give)

I count the days I tried to listen
I should have quit
'Cause every time I keep on missing
The point of all of this

Sad truth, bad news
Is that all I get?
It's the way that it is
You can't take what you give

It's the way that it is
You can't take what you give
(Take what you give)
(Take what you give)
(Take what you give)

It gets harder, waiting for it
Tell me when's it gonna hurt, and I'll try to ignore it
I wanted something new, but nothing is changing
I've gotta stop searching for something worth saving

I count the days I tried to listen
I should have quit
'Cause every time, I keep on missing
The point of all of this
Sad truth, bad news
Is that all I get?
It's the way that it is
You can't take what you give
It's the way that it is
You can't take what you give

It's no use trying to remember
Can't forget what I already know
This moment feels like forever
This current never lets me go

I count the days I tried to listen
I should have quit
'Cause every time I keep on missing
The point of all of this
Sad truth, bad news
Is that all I get?
It's the way that it is
You can't take what you give

It's the way that it is
You can't take what you give
It's the way that it is
You can't take what you give
It's the way that it is
You can't take what you give
