What Gives
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Say I'm alright.
Everything is cool and okay.
So turn out the light.
Watch my world slowly slip away.
With everything I try so hard, and this is what I get.
So what gives?
Yeah What Gives
Oh I've been damned.
Say I'm OK.
But nothing ever seems to go my way.
So hold on tight.
This is gonna be one hell of a ride.
When everythings in everyone and if it starts to come undone
I would never find my way to you.
When everything is said and done, I could never be that strong
I would never be that cool to you.
With everything I try so hard, and this is what I get.
So what gives?
Yeah What Gives?
Oh what gives?
Yeah what gives?
Oh I've been damned.
So what gives? So what gives?
So what gives? So what gives?
When everythings in everyone and if it starts to come undone
I would never find my way to you.
When everything is said and done, Will I ever be that strong
I would never be that cool to you.
With everything I try so hard, and this is what I get.
So what gives?
Yeah What Gives?
Oh what gives?
Yeah what gives?
Oh I've been damned.
Oh I've been damned.
Oh I've been damned.
