Gave More Than It Took
I've been waiting for a chance to speak up Cause the silence took fourteen years from us I know it's not like the timid one I am To go taking us back to places we don't wanna go again
But your words of fire branded our young hearts When we needed each other most we were hundreds of miles apart Four little islands ravaged by a storm of anger and loneliness How could you expect no consequences?
The pain that you dismissed The sorrow that you denied me Well it's the reason I exist It's the truth at which you laughed It showed me how to write again And it taught me how to love again And it gave more in the end than it took
Now I see a man who doesn't understand His worth got nothin' to do With accolades or mistakes he's made A man who can't forgive himself Who gave up living long ago Well the mirror doesn't lie Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com But it's not the only truth
And he's rooted to the shore But his hands are on the ropes And there's a voice, calling him to cast them off Now it's darker than before And the wind is picking up But there's a light, he thought he saw
I'm not strong but I am brave Brave does not mean unafraid Wrote letters you never will read It's a life of richness, or of riches Or ambitions, or forgiveness And I know I can't change no-one else but me
Now you're rooted to the shore But your hands are on the ropes And there's a voice calling you to cast them off Now your sails are filled with wind again Writing songs in your sleep again And it gave more in the end than it took
