[Verse 1] You give your warmth away in handfuls Then wonder why your hands feel cold A dozen voices tug your sleeve Each one says, “Come, do what I’m told” [Pre-Chorus] I can offer what I have I can’t make the river turn Every current has its own pull Every lesson has to burn [Chorus] I give, I give, but I am not the tide I can love you and still choose my side When the world pulls hard in every direction I hold what’s mine, release the rest [Verse 2] Your hurt arrives; I want to fix it I reach too far, I lose my ground Some things soften when I listen Some things won’t be turned around [Bridge] Let the answer take its time Let the wanting pass me by [Final Chorus] I give, I give, but I am not the tide I can love you and still choose my side When the world pulls hard in every direction I hold what’s mine, release the rest [Outro] I hold what’s mine Release the rest
