Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Took a deep breath underwater
Watched the waves go by over and over
All the right things at all the wrong times
Sink when I should swim, too late to rewind
[Verse 2]
I don't know what I want or what I expected
I don't know how I got to feel so rejected
It's the way that it is
You can't take what you give
[Verse 3]
I count days and tried to listen
I should have quit
'Cause every time, I keep on missin'
The point of all of this
Sad truth, bad news, is that all that I get?
It's the way that it is
You can't take what you give
It's the way that it is
You can't take what you give
[Verse 4]
It gets harder waiting for it
Tell me when's it gonna hurt and I'll try to ignore it
I wanted something new, but nothing is changing
I've gotta stop searching for something worth saving
[Verse 5]
I count the days and try to listen
I should have quit
'Cause every time, I keep on missin'
The point of all of this
Sad truth, bad news, is that all that I get?
It's the way that it is
You can't take what you give
It's the way that it is
You can't take what you give
[Verse 6]
It's no use trying to remember
Can't forget what I already know
This moment feels like forever
This current never lets me go
[Verse 7]
I count the days and try to listen
I should've quit
'Cause every time, I keep on missin'
The point of all of this
Sad truth, bad news, is that all that I get?
It's the way that it is
You can't take what you give
It's the way that it is
You can't take what you give
[Verse 8]
It's the way that it is
You can't take what you give
It's the way that it is
You can't take what you give
