lyrics

Giving Point

I’m sorry that I let you down
Sorry that I never found
The strength to make it good for you
And the words to make it right
I guess I had to grow a bit
Had to learn to go with it
But sometimes it’s all we can do
To make it through the day

Chorus:
So we keep pushing on
Until the giving point
And in a flash the scenery changes
And the road gets washed away
And all the things we planned
Are snatched from our hands
And here we stand
At the giving point

I know that you were loving me
But it was love I couldn’t see
A language that I didn’t speak
And could not recognize
Life can be so cruel that way
We see the truth when it’s too late
And the words we finally learn to say
Are better left unsaid

We hurt and blame
Then the pain can blind us
And simple kindness
Gets lost along the way
But through the night
The morning light can find us
And it reminds us
How everything has changed

Chorus
