"I Couldn't Give You More"

When the lights came on
And you were gone
I knew it was the end
I found myself
A little brighter
I lost myself a friend

And I don't know
Just how to feel
But I know the words will come
And go
With everything I've lost
Until the colors run

[chorus]
I gave you what I had
And I couldn't give you more
I gave you what I had
Now it's lying on the floor
And I can't get it back
But I don't want it anymore
So walk away from me
With all the things you saw worth taking

Do you really care
That it wasn't fair
To keep me hanging on
There's just so much
That I can take
Before the feeling's gone

And I could share a thousand times
What's in my heart and on my mind
But if you never trust a word of it
Then I guess it's still just mine
Maybe I'll walk away in tact this time

[chorus]
I gave you what I had
And I couldn't give you more
I gave you what I had
Now it's lying on the floor
And I can't get it back
But I don't want it anymore
So walk away from me
With all the things you saw worth taking

It's wearing down on me
The resistance in everything
And even if I tried
I couldn't pry your hands open
To accept what I was giving
No, I couldn't give you more

I gave you what I had
I gave you what I had
I gave you what I had
I couldn't give you more
I gave you what I had
I gave you what I had
I gave you all I had
And I couldn't give you more
