Lyrics

Giving It Back

Your depth of sadness was a gift

And for a while I cherished it

I'm tired of wasting my time away

So I'm giving it back to you

Giving it back to you

It takes a lot to keep you going

Wearing me down without you knowing

My will to fight has gone away

So I'm giving it back to you

Giving it back to you

I'm tired of wasting my time away

So I'm giving it back to you

Giving it back to you

I'm tired of wasting my time away

So I'm giving it back to you

Giving it back to you

Giving it back
