The Giver - Livingston

Stay by my side

When I can’t be your truth to find

Oh, I’ve said it a thousand times

You’re the better half of me

I’m paralyzed

When I can’t choose what’s wrong or right

I lost my compass in the tide

Forgiveness isn’t free

So, darlin', tell me

When will I learn to see

I’m more than what is left of me?

There’s more to life than loss and letting go

Darlin', tell me

When will I learn to see

You’ve come to find the best in me?

And the past, I’m scared to show

Love, teach me all I need to know

'Cause you’re the giver

Giver, giver

Love, teach me all I need to know

'Cause you’re the giver

Giver, giver

Teach me all I need to know, to know, to know

Apathy

I hold to my apathy

Love, I know it’s bad for me

But it’s all I’ve ever known

Tell me, if you saw the color leave my eyes

That you’d come close and restore what hides

All I’m scared to show

I forget what I need most

So, darlin', tell me

When will I learn to see

I’m more than what is left of me?

There’s more to life than loss and letting go

Darlin', tell me

When will I learn to see

You’ve come to find the best in me?

And the past, I’m scared to show

Love, teach me all I need to know

'Cause you’re the giver

Giver, giver

Love, teach me all I need to know

'Cause you’re the giver

Giver, giver

If life’s black and white

I’m not picking sides of

The ground that we’re on

The ground that we’re on

I’m not picking sides of

The ground that we’re on

Love, teach me all I need to know

'Cause you’re the giver

Giver, giver

Love, teach me all I need to know

'Cause you’re the giver

Giver, giver

Teach me all I need to know, to know, to know

I’m not picking sides of

The ground that we’re on

The ground that we’re on

I’m not picking sides of

The ground that we’re on

Love, teach me all I need to know

'Cause you’re the giver
