all i have to give

staring in the mirror

watching as the walls are closing in

a shadow of a figure

trying to make the best of the state that i am in

i guess i could do with the friends i've been pushing away

but i'm destined to suffer until i discover the reasons i'm afraid

god knows i try

it might not be good enough

but it's all i have to give

this is all i have to give

you might be right sometimes

i never open up

but it's all i have to give

this is all i have to give

staring in the mirror

picturing the face of a younger man

he buries it away

'cause he's gotta try and cope

in a way he understands

be there for your brother

and strong for your mother again

'cause he's too young to get it

and she'll get upset if she knows you feel the pain

god knows i try

it might not be good enough

but it's all i have to give

this is all i have to give

you might be right sometimes

i'm too scared to open up

but it's all i have to give

this is all i have to give to you

i tell myself there's nothing left to lose

i don't know why i'm hiding from the truth

i face myself and all i see is you

is you

staring in the mirror

watching as the walls are closing in

god knows i try

it might not be good enough

but it's all i have to give

this is all i have to give

you might be right sometimes

i'm too scared to open up

but it's all i have to give

this is all i have to give to you

to you

this is all i have to give
