Give a Little

Everyone projecting all their dreams on me
A million life plans of what they want me to be
Saying, "Give a little, give a little, give a little, give a little"
Piece by piece, I'm slipping away, hey

Be kind, be patient, be hard to please
It seems contradicting, but do it honestly
Just give a little, give a little, give a little, give a little
Until you disintegrate

Put your hands up if you've lied awake at 3 a.m.
Promising yourself all the things
That you think that you'll never do again
Put your hands up if you have a dream about running away
Somewhere you can get a little wild for a night
And the next day no one remembers your name

Put your hands up if you've been manipulated
By the masses, by the people who just want to complicate ya
By the ones who only want to see you crash and burn
Or tell me honestly the things that you yearn for!

Do you want the voices to stop?
In and out of your head, making your mouth go pop
Can I get an Amen? (Amen!)
Why don't you forget it, and dance 'til you drop (three, two, one)

All the hypocrites
With slivers in their eyes
I'll scream that I'm sick of it
I can't see the beams in mine
Obscene expectations
Is the most toxic form of pride
So, why should I deserve to do more with my life?

Everyone projecting all their dreams on me
A million life plans of what they want me to be
Saying,"Give a little, give a little, give a little, give a little"
Piece by piece I'm slippin' away, hey

Be kind, be patient, be hard to please
It seems contradicting, but do it honestly
Just give a little, give a little, give a little, give a little
Until you disintegrate
