[Verse]
I clock in
I bleed out
I sew my seams
Another day’s grind in my factory dreams
Spinning wheels of gold
They just turn to rust
Built my empire on a bed of dust
[Prechorus]
I’ve poured my heart
I’ve lit the flame
But all I get is smoke and shame
[Chorus]
Oh
I give
I give
I give
They take
All my love's a grand mistake
Empty applause in a hollow hall
I love too much
They love too small
[Verse 2]
I paint my face with a brave disguise
But my mirror's got no alibis
I hold out my arms like a burning bridge
They cross
They go
They never forgive
[Prechorus]
I’ve built the sky
I’ve kissed the sun
But stars fall down when the loving’s done
[Chorus]
Oh
I give
I give
I give
They flee
All my love's a tragedy
Empty applause in a hollow hall
I love too much
They love too small
