Give A Little

Lyrics: [Verse 1] Every beginning is a step into the dark No guarantees when handing over your heart You test the water, gently let somebody in Give them just enough to let the trust begin Words don’t mean anything if they’re just empty things we say It’s what we choose to do that matters anyway [Verse 2] I’d rather you hurt me with the truth Than hold me with a lie Don’t let me waste my time believing In something that isn’t right Be truthful , however hard it might be Give me choices, don’t make them for me [Chorus] You’ve got to give a little, get a little Give a little more Trust a little, before you know What’s worth fighting for It’s no good saying “trust me” If you’re not trusting in return You don’t get it for nothing You gotta give a little first [Verse 3] We don’t have to know what waits around the bend Or to promise that we’ll never be hurt again There’ll always be uncertainty and there will be doubt But trust is knowing we will work to work it out We don’t need any guarantees of what’s to come Just knowing when it matters, we will fight and we won’t run [Bridge] Mirror, mirror, how’d I do today? Did my actions match the promises I made? Did I act like someone who could be counted on? Have I given the impression I can be leant upon? I can’t ask for something I won’t give away I’ve got to earn your trust each and every day [Final Chorus] You’ve got to give a little, get a little Give a little more Trust a little, before you know What’s worth fighting for It’s no good saying “trust me” If you’re not trusting in return You don’t get it for nothing You gotta give a little first
