Lyrics

Sometimes I see you labor
Just trying to do the world a favor
I see you struggle with balance
Not one of your many talents
Sacrifice is the one thing
You give until you’re left with nothing

I come across as needy
Some might even call greedy
You ask me what I’m missing
Then catalog my many blessings
It seems I’m never sated
And almost never elated

I know you give more than you take
I see the tension and the nerves about to break
I’d like to be the one upon whom you rely
You may not think me capable, just give me a try
You need to learn to give and take
I need to learn to give and take

You need more of my attention
I need more of your dimension
Sacrifice is a good thing
As long as we are left with something
We need to learn to give and take
We need to learn to give and take
