[Verse 1]

It's never been a hard decision

Never a moment to break or bend

To share the warmth I'll always give you

From this candle lit at both ends


[Pre-Chorus]

When you can't see color and life loses taste

When your heart's left to linger on a choice to make

Pour it into me, give it all to me

When you won't let go of the pain you made

Hold it close so you'll never make the same mistake

Pour it into me, give it all to me


[Chorus]

'Cause I can take it, I can take it

And be more than you'd expect from me

More than I should be

But I can take it, or I thought I could

Though this glass is never empty

Pour the hurt away and give it all to me


[Verse 2]

I couldn't wear these words of meaning

Say them enough to fall on deafened ears

'Cause when it seems like you're stuck out in dark waters

I'll be swimming from the shore to bring you home


[Pre-Chorus]

When you can't see color and life loses taste

When your heart's left to linger on a choice to make

Pour it into me, give it all to me

When you won't let go of the pain you made

Hold it close so you'll never make the same mistake

Pour it into me, give it all to me


[Chorus]

'Cause I can take it, I can take it

And be more than you'd expect of me

More than I should be

But I can take it, or I thought I could

Though this glass is never empty

Pour the hurt away and give it all to me

Take it, I can take it

And be more than you'd expect of me

More than I should be

But I can take it, or I thought I could

Though this glass is never empty

Pour the hurt away and give it all


[Outro]

Take it, or I thought I could

Though this glass is never empty

Pour the hurt away and give it all to me
