You Gave Me You Instead Lyrics

Verse 1

Searching around trying to find a place so new
Playing around doing the things I shouldn't do
Been so afraid to open my heart to possibilities
Of all the things, glorious things you've promised me
Been so alone, can't even see myself renewed
No one to care, turned around then I saw you!

Chorus

You gave me you, gave me you instead
You gave me all the things I felt I didn't have
When I tried to use other things to escape the pain within
You gave me you, you instead 2x's

Verse 2

Despair and darkness is all I see when I open my eyes Monologues portray my life spiraling out of my mind
Sadness here in place of joy from my pushing from you
Keep doing the same ole things moving far away from you
Dreaming one day seeing your face, so afraid to let go
Of all the things that brought me here which holds me close

Chorus

Bridge
No can fill me like you do, you're such a joy
Even in my wilderness, brightness shines much more
No one can hold, no one can love me, no one can bring the best
from me
Like you, You gave me you instead

Chorus
