Like the dawn in a dark place
I was there on your worst days
My heart was?tired?and heavy
You just?turned white like a blank page

When?your love was in short supply
I gave you all of?mine,?all?of mine
You were?stuck and your?hands were tied
But I was paralyzed, paralyzed

Can’t always get what you give
But where I’m standin’, I’m empty handed
Can’t always get what you give
But where I’m standin’, I’m empty handed

This here is where I draw the line
We’ve played this game a thousand times
But I’m givin’, givin', givin', I’m giving up on always
Givin’, givin', givin', giving you everything

I was always by your side
Even when it made me cry
Even through all your mistakes
I wanted you in the worst way

When your hope was in short supply
I gave you all of mine, all of mine
It didn’t matter how hard I tried
You’re never satisfied, satisfied

I can’t always get what you give
But where I’m standin’, I’m empty handed
Can’t always get what you give
But where I’m standin’, I’m empty handed

This here is where I draw the line
We’ve played this game a thousand times
But I’m givin’, givin', givin', I’m giving up on always
Givin’, givin', givin', giving you everything

Gotta meet me halfway
Coulda gave you everything
Gotta meet me halfway
Coulda gave you everything

Can’t always get what you give
But where I’m standin’, I’m empty handed
I can’t always get what you give
But where I’m standin’, I’m empty handed

This here is where I draw the line
We’ve played this game a thousand times
But I’m givin’, givin', givin', I’m giving up on always
Givin’, givin', givin', giving you everything

Gotta meet me halfway
Coulda gave you everything
Gotta meet me halfway
Coulda gave you everything.
