For so long now, for so long now I’ve been trying
It’s not working
I’ve been trying and hoping and wishing with every part of me
It’s not working
I keep giving it out but it’s not coming back to me baby
Kept thinking that somehow
But I’m gonna go now
Now I wanna be free
You can call out my name
And tell me about your pain
But I’m not coming back to you baby
I’ll be giving it out but it’s not gonna come back to you, yeah
I’ll be giving it out but it’s not gonna come back to you
There’s only so much, only so much you can do
My heart is breaking
I kept on giving it out because I love you
But oh, this is not enough for me
Now I wanna be free
You can call out my name
And tell me about your pain
But I’m not coming back to you baby
I’ll be giving it out but it’s not gonna come back to you, yeah
I’ll be giving it out but it’s not gonna come back to you
Baby call out my name
Tell me all about your shame
But I’m not coming back to you baby
I’ll be giving it out but it’s not gonna come back to you
Yes, I’ll be giving it out but it’s not gonna come back to you
Yeah, giving out
All the good stuff
Giving it out to somebody who loves me
Somebody who loves me, somebody who loves me
