Livingston The Giver Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Stay by my side
When I can't be your truth to find
Oh, I've said it a thousand times
You're the better half of me
I'm paralyzed
When I can't choose what's wrong or right
I lost my compass in the tide
Forgiveness isn't free

[Pre-Chorus]
So, darlin', tell me
When will I learn to see
I'm more than what is left of me?
There's more to life than loss and letting go
Darlin', tell me
When will I learn to see
You've come to find the best in me?
And the past, I'm scared to show
[Chorus]
Love, teach me all I need to know
'Cause you're the giver
Giver, giver
Love, teach me all I need to know
'Cause you're the giver
Giver, giver
Teach me all I need to know, to know, to know

[Verse 2]
Apathy
I hold to my apathy
Love, I know it's bad for me
But it's all I've ever known
Tell me, if you saw the color leave my eyes
That you'd come close and restore what hides
All I'm scared to show
I forget what I need most

[Pre-Chorus]
So, darlin', tell me When will I learn to see
I'm more than what is left of me?
There's more to life than loss and letting go
Darlin', tell me
When will I learn to see
You've come to find the best in me?
And the past, I'm scared to show
[Chorus]
Love, teach me all I need to know
'Cause you're the giver
Giver, giver
Love, teach me all I need to know
'Cause you're the giver
Giver, giver

[Bridge]
If life's black and white
I'm not picking sides of
The ground that we're on
The ground that we're on
I'm not picking sides of
The ground that we're on

[Chorus]
Love, teach me all I need to know
'Cause you're the giver
Giver, giver
Love, teach me all I need to know
'Cause you're the giver
Giver, giver
Teach me all I need to know, to know, to know

[Outro]
I'm not picking sides of
The ground that we're on
The ground that we're on
I'm not picking sides of
The ground that we're on
Love, teach me all I need to know
'Cause you're the giver
