Everything to Give
Unveiling Love's Dilemma: Jesse Ray Smith's 'Everything to Give'
Lyrics
Are you who you say you are
Questioning the authenticity of someone's identity
Am I everything to you
Questioning the depth of the speaker's importance to the other person
Are we gonna build a life
Contemplating whether they will create a future together
Sit back watch the flowers bloom
Metaphorically observing the relationship's growth and development
Or are you saving a little for someone else
Wondering if the person is reserving something for another individual
Heard the way gave yourself to him
Heard about the emotional investment given to someone else
It came in just a passing phrase
Reference to information received incidentally or casually
Couldn't give you any more
Expressing inability to offer more emotionally
If I had everything
Hypothetical statement about having abundant resources to provide
And then some to give
Emphasizing the idea of having given everything and more
Already gave it all
Claiming to have already given their all
I wish that we could travel time
Desire to revisit a past time in the relationship
Back to when the walls were bare
Reflecting on a simpler phase in the relationship
Was anything but perfect dear
Acknowledging imperfections in the past
But we held each other near
Recalling moments of emotional closeness despite imperfections
You beat yourself up a thousand times
Reference to self-criticism or regret experienced by the person
Ain't nothing else to find besides the truth
Implying that truth is the only thing left to uncover
With the passing of time
Noting the impact of the passage of time
Couldn't give you any more
Reiterating inability to give more emotionally
If I had everything
Reiterating the hypothetical abundant emotional resources
And then some to give
Stating that everything has already been given
Already gave it all
Reiterating the claim of having given everything
You beat yourself up a thousand times
Repetition of self-critical thoughts or regrets
Ain't nothing else to find besides the truth
Reiterating that truth is the only significant thing left
With the passing of time
Highlighting the impact of time passing
Couldn't give you any more
Reaffirming inability to provide more emotionally
If I had everything
Repeating the hypothetical statement of abundant emotional resources
And then some to give
Reiterating the assertion of having given everything
Already gave it all
Reiterating the claim of having given all possible
