I've been skeptical
about all of those fairytales
that happened a long time ago
When love came at first sight
and everything turned out right
What happened then, I'll never know
I'm not a little child,
haven't been for quite a while
And I don't fall that easily
But I'm glad that we took this chance
Even if it's just this dance
Maybe it'll last for a night or two
Mama, we was so sad,
must hurt you pretty bad
We're hot out on your sleeve
A man like you should know,
if you really let her go
There's plenty of fish in the sea
Tell me how long will you go on
Too hurt to give your heart away
Too scared to live,
every tooth's right,
clinging to yesterday
I'm glad you came to me,
not just a remedy
To help you overcome a broken heart
And while you may not forget,
I know that we've just met
I believe it's at least a start
Though you say your heart is numb,
offer me a little crumb,
and I'll accept it like a feast
Love is patient, love is kind,
love can really fry your mind,
but then, that's the nature of a beast
Tell me how long will you go on,
too hurt to give your heart away
Too scared to live, afraid to try,
clinging to yesterday
Someone is having all the same
love and more
Though it's not so simple
to understand
Taking up the pieces
may not be easy
But I'll be glad to give you a hand
I'd rather leave you by the
way
I'm not watching you
I know you got things to do
To start your life all over again
But I just want you to know
That if we take it real slow
I can become your closest friend
No need to run or hide
Just remember I'm on your side
And I won't ask for what
you can't give
Face it babe, what's done is done
It's time to be moving on
Don't just survive
You've got to live,
you've got to live
You've got to give it all away, baby
Too scared to live
Afraid to try
Tell me how long
You've known
You've got to give your heart away
Too scared to live, afraid to try
Clinging to yesterday
Oh, carry on on, carry on on
You're gonna give your heart away
Too scared to live, afraid to try
Clinging to yesterday
You've got to live,
you've got to live all day,
not merely survive, yeah.
You got to give your heart away
