Give It to Me
Michael Sarver Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

When you're down and when you're broken
And you think your life has only become the price you paid for all your wrongs
When the cold is all around you and hopelessness has found you
And it seems like you've been there for oh so long
You don't have to be afraid
Just take that tear from your face and give it to me.
Every piece of your broken heart, give it to me
Every wound that's left to scar

Every fear will fade here in my arms

Find your deepest worry, your darkest yesterday
Take them both and throw them in the sand
I will be the gentle wave that comes to wash it all away
Just give it to me, every piece of your broken heart
Every piece of your broken heart, give it to me
Every wound that's left to scar
Every fear will fade here in my arms
If you give it to me

Just give it to me

I swear I will never leave you,
Do anything to free you
If you only knew just how much I could love you
You'd give it to me; you'd give it to me

Give it to me
Every piece of your broken heart, give it to me
Every wound that's left to scar
Your every fear will fade here in my arms
If you give it to me, yeah

Just give it to me
Just give it to me

When you're down and when you're broken
When you feel low and defeated

And you think your life has only become the price you paid for all your wrongs
And you feel like you are being punished for all your mistakes

When the cold is all around you and hopelessness has found you
When you feel hopeless and everything seems bleak

And it seems like you've been there for oh so long
And it feels like you have been in that state for a long time

You don't have to be afraid
There is nothing to be afraid of

Just take that tear from your face and give it to me.
Just share your pain with me

Every piece of your broken heart, give it to me
Give me all the fragments of your shattered heart

Every wound that's left to scar
Every hurt that still hurts and leaves a scar

Find your deepest worry, your darkest yesterday
Think about your biggest worries and worst memories

Take them both and throw them in the sand
Let go of them

I will be the gentle wave that comes to wash it all away
I will be there to gently ease your pain
