[Verse 1]
It's to make it on a tight rope
I'm not falling, I'm not crawling
You can't blame me, not for trying
I'm not foolish, I will get you
[Verse 2]
Tear the walls down, don't be stupid
Meet me halfway to your heart
Let the sun rise when it's dawning
And I'll break you, till I break through
[4 Bar Instrumental]
[Chorus]
Given it all to you
I've given it all to you
I've given it all to you
I've given it all to you
I've given it all to you
Given it all to you
I've given it all to you
I've given it all to you
I've given it all to you
I've given it all to you
[Verse 3]
It's got me closer, to the water
We should set sail, to the border
Tear the walls down, don't be stupid
Meet me halfway to your heart
Let the sun rise when it's dawning
And I'll break you, till I break through
[Chorus]
Given it all to you
I've given it all to you
I've given it all to you
I've given it all to you
I've given it all to you
Given it all to you
I've given it all to you
I've given it all to you
I've given it all to you
I've given it all to you
(It's got me down)
[Bridge]
Let the sun rise, when it's dawning
Let the sun rise, when it's dawning
You can't blame me, (You can't blame me)
Not for trying (not for trying)
I'm not foolish, (I'm not foolish)
I will get you (I will get you)
Let the sun rise, (let the sun rise)
When it's dawning, (when it's dawning)
And I'll break you, (and I'll break you)
'Till I break through ('Till i break through)
(It's got me down)
Let the sun rise, (let the sun rise)
When it's dawning, (when it's dawning)
And I'll break you, (and I'll break you)
'Till I break through ('Till i break through)
[Chorus]
Given it all to you
I've given it all to you
I've given it all to you
I've given it all to you
I've given it all to you
(It's got me down)
Given it all to you
I've given it all to you
I've given it all to you
I've given it all to you
I've given it all to you
(It's got me down)
