Gave It All Away Lyrics

I … I will learn to live before I die
Will learn to love and learn to try
Not to give it all away (give it all away)

She … she may be
The one that’s meant for me
Or for the man that I used to be (used to be)
Til’ I gave it all away (gave it all away x2)

[Chorus]
Why hy hy I lay my heart down on the floor
I showed you love, you wanted more re re
But I gave it all away (cry ry ry ry cry ry ry ry)

You taught me to see the better truth
About yourself but about me too (about me too)
I was stupid over you
What could I do

[Chorus]
Why hy hy I lay my heart down on the floor
I showed you love, you wanted more re re
But I gave it all away (cry ry ry ry cry ry ry ry)

Some people wait a lifetime for a chance like this
I’ve waited enough
Baby, no, I won’t let you go
I’m sick of tears and being fierce
(I won’t let go of you, I won’t let go of you, of you, of youx2)

[Chorus]
Why hy hy I lay my heart down on the floor
I showed you love, you wanted more re re
But I gave it all away (cry ry ry ry cry ry ry ry)

There’s nothing left to take (cry ry ry ry cry ry ry ry ry)

I gave it all away

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
