Give and Take
Feign the life you want,
while all is damaged and given up.
Cast the seed far from its tree,
Losing sight of all hope.
So far from the promises made,
when the cord begins to fray
And you walked away.
I know it's done - and I'm the fool again
The words we speak are not enough.
Left to bleed in the ocean,
And now we're finding what it means to live the lines,
To give and take is to forgive.
Write it down, play it out.
'Cause no one knows if it's true
And no one cares, but I do.
All that's seen, and all that's heard
Dancing in and out of focus,
Right out the back of my mind.
I know it's done - and I'm the fool again
The words we speak are not enough.
Left to bleed in the ocean,
And now we're finding what it means to live the lines,
To give and take is to forgive.
