[Verse 1]

I've been playing nice my whole life

It’s everything I know how to be

Outside of disapproving eyes I finally learned to breathe

I never knew I looked at myself so differently

[Chorus]

Still I gave it all

Gave it all away

'Til there was nothing left

Nothing left for me

How did you know that I was broken?

Know that I couldn't see?

That everything I gave to you was stealing it from me

[Verse 2]

I learned to take the blame

It felt easier that way

But I’ve cursed with every comment

I have drowned in every word you'd say

I had them tattooed on my skin when I wish they'd ricocheted

[Chorus]

Still I gave it all

Gave it all away

'Til there was nothing left

Nothing left for me

How did you know that I was broken?

Know that I couldn't see?

That everything I gave to you was stealing it from me

[Bridge]

I'm sorry that you'll never get to know me…

I'm sorry that you’ll never get to know me…

[Chorus]

’Cause I gave it all

Gave it all away

'Til there was nothing left

Nothing left for me

How did you know that I was broken?

Know that I couldn’t see?

That everything I gave to you was stealing it from me

[Outro]

Still I gave you all

Gave you all of me
