Don't expect me to give myself to you

Instrumental Intro

Verse 1

I read your message twice tonight

Then I let it sit unread

You always wanted all of me

But I only gave you half instead

Counting all the trains you missed

Waiting on my platform

You built a home inside my silence

I never left the door open

Pre-Chorus

So don't come asking

Don't come asking for more

I warned you once

I warned you before

Chorus

Don't expect me to give myself to you

I am not a promise you can keep

Don't expect me to give myself to you

I'm the tide you cannot hold to sleep

Post-Chorus

No no no

Not to you

No no no

Not to you

Verse 2

I liked you better when you guessed

When you didn't know the ending

Now you beg for every secret

Like a letter you keep bending

Spring comes late in my hometown

Cherries fall before they bloom

You wanted forever in a season

I gave you a rented room

Pre-Chorus

So don't come asking

Don't come asking for more

I told you once

I told you before

Chorus

Don't expect me to give myself to you

I am not a promise you can keep

Don't expect me to give myself to you

I'm the tide you cannot hold to sleep

Post-Chorus

No no no

Not to you

No no no

Not to you

Bridge

Hold me loosely

Hold me kindly

Hold me only

Half the time

I am honest

I am hiding

Both are mine

Chorus

Don't expect me to give myself to you

I am not a promise you can keep

Don't expect me to give myself to you

I'm the tide you cannot hold to sleep

Post-Chorus

No no no

Not to you

No no no

Not to you
