Inches More

Verse 1

Building blocks and bedtime rhymes

I'd chase the door to see their eyes light up

Little hands wrapped tight in mine

I was the whole wide world and that was enough

Pre-Chorus

Now they don't call

They just don't call at all

Chorus

And I give and I give until I'm empty

And I give and I give and I give some inches more

And I hand out my heart so they can take it

And I pour out what's left on the kitchen floor

Verse 2

Birthday cards they stopped signing

The visits turned to minutes on the phone

I'd drop by and hear their silence

And come home to a house that felt alone

Pre-Chorus

They don't ask how

They just don't ask about me now

Chorus

And I give and I give until I'm empty

And I give and I give and I give some inches more

And I hand out my heart so they can take it

And I pour out what's left on the kitchen floor

Bridge

Now there's a crumpled truck and a cold red light

And a voicemail they'll replay tonight

I was always theirs

I was always yours

I just ran out of inches for the door

Chorus

And I give and I give until I'm empty

And I give and I give and I give some inches more

And I hand out my heart so they can take it

And I pour out what's left on the kitchen floor

Outro

I give and I give

I give you everything

Until I'm empty
