You Gave It

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You left your key On my top shelf Half a note And a cheap hotel smell I should've known By the way you stood One foot in the door One foot in the mud [Pre-Chorus] I kept your text Like a bruise I kept your name Like I had to Now I'm here With the whole truth [Chorus] You gave it to me Then you took it back You gave it to me Now my hands go slack You gave it to me Right down to the bone You gave it to me Then you left me alone (gave it to me) (gave it to me) [Verse 2] Your black hair tie On the sink edge Your cheap white cup By the window ledge I wash it all But the stain stays near Even clean clothes Keep your shape in here [Pre-Chorus] I don't want What I had before I want the part That you locked in the drawer Say it once Then say no more [Chorus] You gave it to me Then you took it back You gave it to me Now my hands go slack You gave it to me Right down to the bone You gave it to me Then you left me alone (gave it to me) (gave it to me) [Bridge] I can hear your laugh In the fan at night I can see your coat On the chair in my mind If love was a loan Then I paid too much Now the room goes still When I reach for your touch [Chorus] You gave it to me Then you took it back You gave it to me Now my hands go slack You gave it to me Right down to the bone You gave it to me Then you left me alone (gave it to me) (gave it to me)
