Ed Sheeran - Give Me Love [Official...

Give me love like her,
'Cause lately I've been waking up alone,
Paint splattered teardrops on my shirt,
Told you I'd let them go,
And that I'll fight my corner,
Maybe tonight I'll call ya,
After my blood turns into alcohol,
No, I just wanna hold ya.

Give a little time to me or burn this out,
We'll play hide and seek to turn this around,
All I want is the taste that your lips allow,
My, my, my, my, oh give me love,
My, my, my, my, oh give me love,
My, my, my, my, oh give me love,
My, my, my, my, oh give me love,
My, my, my, my, oh give me love.

Give me love like never before,
'Cause lately I've been craving more,
And it's been a while but I still feel the same,
Maybe I should let you go,
You know I'll fight my corner,
And that tonight I'll call ya,





After my blood is drowning in alcohol,
No I just wanna hold ya.

'Cause lately I've been waking up alone,
I wake up every day feeling lonely and missing the love that we used to share.


Paint splattered teardrops on my shirt,
I am crying so much that my tears stain my shirt, like paint splatters on a canvas.


Told you I'd let them go,

And that I'll fight my corner,
Even though we are no longer together, I will still fight for our love and defend it.

After my blood turns into alcohol,
I will drink alcohol until I am numb and forget about my problems.


No, I just wanna hold ya.
But deep down inside, all I really want is to hold you close and be with you again.


Give a little time to me or burn this out,
Please give me more time to figure things out or our love will fade away and die.


We'll play hide and seek to turn this around,
