Too long I've tried to do the things I knew I couldn't do
Too long I've tried to be what I can't be
You said if I would change a little you would change some too
But it's always been a one way give and take

It's always up to me to give because you knew I would
I had to have your love dear so I took it when I could
The more I tried to live your way the more my heart will break
You always lose at one way give and take

[ steel ]
It's always up to me...
