What We Give

It’s been a while since I’ve felt this way
You left your mark, hope it never fades
They say love just isn’t worth it
I say you’ve got to put the work in
That way you’re always going to get
What you give


It’s been a while since I’ve been this way
You left your mark and I hope it stays
Last time, love just wasn’t working
Next time, I plan to put the work in
That way I’m always going to get
What I give
 
Next time
And I’m going to fall
Like I don’t need saving
‘Cause my heart isn’t going to play it safe
I’m going to say it
Like it’s never been spoken
Because I’m going to love
Like I’ve never been broken


I won’t hold back
I’ll take her all the way
I won’t stop there
I’ll take her breath away
It’ll be me and her
And we’ll forget the world


We are going to be so amazing
Because she’s going to give like it’s never been taken
And I know I haven’t met her yet but
I promise to give her so much more than I get
That way we’re always going to get
What we give
