Verse 1 I’ve carried love like a lantern, Held out in the dark. I’ve felt the ache of waiting, And the breaking of my heart. I’ve opened doors for people Too afraid to walk through. Now I’m standing here with something real And I’m wondering about you. Pre-Chorus I don’t need perfection, Just someone who can say, “Trust me with your heart, I’m not gonna run away.” Chorus If I give my all to you, Will you give me your all too? If I reach out with open hands, Will you reach back and pull me through? I’m tired of halfway love, Tired of breaking right into. If I give you all my love Will you give me all yours too? Verse 2 I’m done with doors half-open And hearts that drift away. Here tonight and gone by sunrise— Fear won’t ever let them stay. I won’t pour out my whole heart On someone scared to choose. I need a love that’s brave enough To risk a little, too. Pre-Chorus I don’t fear the giving, But I won’t give alone. Love was made for two hearts— Not one beating on its own. Chorus If I give my all to you, Will you give me your all too? If I reach out with open hands, Will you reach back and pull me through? I’m tired of halfway love, Tired of breaking right in two. If I give you all my love Will you give me all yours too? Bridge I’ll be strong enough to hold you, Gentle when you need me to. All I ask is when I choose you— That you choose me too. I just want to know for certain That the love you give is true— And If I give you all my love You’ll give me all yours too Final Chorus (lift) If I give my all to you, Will you give me your all too? If I reach out with open hands, Will you reach back and pull me through? I’m tired of halfway love, Tired of breaking right in two. If I give you all my love Will you give me all yours too? Tag I’ll give you all my love Just give me all yours too
