I kept your note Under the glass Next to the coins And the cracked bus pass You left your coat On my chair Like a small dark flag In the stairwell air And I tried to fold My heart back in But every corner Showed your grin You get what you give You get what you give So give me something That I can live You get what you give You get what you give If I stay here Will you still forgive? (still forgive) The kettle hissed In the blue dawn I wore your name Like a sleeve turned wrong Your cheap green lighter On the sink Lit up the room For a second blink Now the hallway spins Like a record does And all my hurt Is a bruise of love You get what you give You get what you give So give me something That I can live You get what you give You get what you give If I stay here Will you still forgive? (still forgive) I know the pact I know the cost Every soft word Can still get lost But if you reach For my shaking hand I’ll learn your rain I’ll learn your land You get what you give You get what you give So give me something That I can live You get what you give You get what you give Hold me once more Then let me live (let me live)
