More Than I Can Give
Overflow of Love: A Sacrifice Unmatched
Lyrics
The more that I give
The act of giving
It's more than I can give
It surpasses my capacity to give
More than all that I have
Exceeds all possessions or offerings I have
And less than you can live with
But falls short of what you can tolerate or accept
We've been stretching our relationship to see what it can take
We've tested the limits of our relationship
When it finally tears apart there'll be no hearts left to break
When it breaks, there will be no emotions left to hurt
It don't look like we'll survive this so I think I'll just go
It seems unlikely we'll survive, contemplating leaving
Maybe then you'll catch the kind of man you keep saying you want
Hoping you'll find the man you desire if I depart
The more that I give
The act of giving (repeated)
It's more than I can give
It surpasses my capacity to give (repeated)
More than all that I have
Exceeds all possessions or offerings I have (repeated)
And less than you can live with
But falls short of what you can tolerate or accept (repeated)
I give and I give
Continued giving, but it's insufficient and unsatisfactory
But it's never enough I just can't win
No matter how much I give, I can't succeed
Pour out everything I got
I've given everything I possess
But you're still not happy with it
Yet your contentment remains elusive
You've been talking about the future and I think you should know
You discuss our future, unaware I've mentally moved on
That in my mind I left you behind a long time ago
My departure from the relationship in my thoughts for a while now
It's a tragic commentary on the games you play
Commenting on the sad situation caused by manipulative behaviors
And the guaranteed result of all the crazy shit you say
The inevitable outcome of your irrational statements
The more that I give
The act of giving (repeated)
It's more than I can give
It surpasses my capacity to give (repeated)
More than all that I have
Exceeds all possessions or offerings I have (repeated)
And less than you can live with
But falls short of what you can tolerate or accept (repeated)
I give and I give
Continued giving, but it's insufficient and unsatisfactory (repeated)
But it's never enough I just can't win
No matter how much I give, I can't succeed (repeated)
Pour out everything I got
I've given everything I possess (repeated)
But you're still not happy with it
Yet your contentment remains elusive (repeated)
I have spent my life
My life spent tirelessly working to satisfy you
Working day and night
Dedicated efforts day and night
Trying to keep you satisfied
Attempting to fulfill your desires
Ain't it a crying shame
An expression of disappointment in your constant dissatisfaction
All you do is complain
Your tendency to only express grievances
Well at least I know I tried
Realizing that, at least, I made an effort
I tried
A repetition emphasizing the effort made
The more that I give
The act of giving (repeated)
It's more than I can give
It surpasses my capacity to give (repeated)
More than all that I have and less than you can live with
Exceeds all possessions or offerings I have (repeated)
You take what I give
You accept what I give, but it's still inadequate (repeated)
But it's never enough I just can't win
No matter how much I give, I can't succeed (repeated)
Pour out everything I got
I've given everything I possess (repeated)
But you're still not happy with it
Yet your contentment remains elusive (repeated)
What you want from me is more than I can give
Your expectations from me are beyond what I can provide
