Like the dawn in a dark place I was there on your worst days My heart was tired and heavy You just turned white like a blank page When your love was in short supply I gave you all of mine, all of mine You were stuck and your hands were tied But I was paralyzed, paralyzed Can't always get what you give But where I'm standin', I'm empty handed Can't always get what you give But where I'm standin', I'm empty handed This here is where I draw the line We've played this game a thousand times But I'm givin', givin', givin', I'm giving up on always Givin', givin', givin', giving you everything I was always by your side Even when it made me cry Even through all your mistakes I wanted you in the worst way
