The Giver Songtext
von Peridot

I am a giver
Claiming the love of no one
I carry a ledger, covered in dust
Filled with names now lost

Quiet and bitter
Hardened from years of letters unreturned
Still, I remember my heart before the fall
Lessons still unlearned

I′ve had door after door slammed into my face
Black and blue
Black and blue
Married to my mistakes

Time keeps traveling faster
Destined for disaster
Oh, you'd think I would′ve known by now
I'll give it away just to give you back
Give it away just to give you back again


Lovers and strangers
One and the same, living years apart
I keep thinking what's a few pages more
When you′re writing in the dark?

I′ll keep writing away till the ink runs dry
Black and blue
Black and blue
Married to my mistakes

Time keeps traveling faster
Destined for disaster
Oh, you'd think I would′ve known by now
I'll give it away just to give you back
Give it away just to give you back again

Let′s stop before we start
I don't wanna try if you′re gonna run
Couldn't bear to watch you leave
And I don't wanna write your name
′Cause my story doesn′t need another casualty


I don't wanna be another chapter
Destined for disaster
Oh, you′d think I would've known by now
A little more hope to shatter
Colored over with laughter
I′ll give it away just to give you back
Give it away just to give you back again

I am a giver
Claiming the love of no one
