Give & Take

Darling now you see there ain't no turning back
Can I hold your hand? Just tryna understand
Oh lately I've been reading 'tween the lines
Whatever you say you want, when all's said and done
Who do you think you are? What are you frightened of?

Can't help feeling like I'm learning this the hard way
Cause we give and we take and we alienate
And it's all I can do not to scare you away
Cause I'm stuck 'tween a rock and then a hard place
Now I'm feeling the shame and you're playin' it straight
And I'm trying to get my heart out of the way

Can't help feeling like I'm learning this the hard way
Cause we give and we take and we alienate
And it's all I can do not to scare you away
Cause I'm stuck 'tween a rock and then a hard place
Now I'm feeling the shame and you're playin' it straight
And I'm trying to get my heart out of the way

Swallowing all the nonsensical storylines
Simmering underneath, I'm seeing it in my dreams
Oh sympathetic look into your eyes
Tell me what are you running from
When all's said and gone?
Following foolish things I'm doing from the sidelines
Yeah my heart's on the court, I'm hitting it back and forth
Oh now you say it's just a friendly game
But we're playing for tainted stakes and it's stalemate
Wonder where is your confidence
Cause babe I'm not your reconnaissance

Can't help feeling like I'm learning this the hard way
Cause we give and we take and we alienate
And it's all I can do not to scare you away
Cause I'm stuck 'tween a rock and then a hard place
Now I'm feeling the shame and you're playin' it straight
And I'm trying to get my heart out of the way

Cause we give and we take and we alienate
And it's all I can do not to scare you away
Now I'm feeling the shame and you're playin' it straight
And I'm trying to get my heart out of the way

Can't help feeling like I'm learning this the hard way
Cause we give and we take and we alienate
And it's all I can do not to scare you away
Cause I'm stuck 'tween a rock and then a hard place
Now I'm feeling the shame and you're playin' it straight
And I'm trying to get my heart out of the way
