What I Gave

Verse 1

I gave up the weekends

Traded my sleep for a dream I could hold

You were asleep when I slipped out the door

Left a note on the counter

Said I'd be back before you know

Every hour is a coin I keep spending

Pre-Chorus

And I know it costs me something

Every road I choose

But I'd pay it all again

Chorus

For you I'd lay it down

For you I'd walk away

Everything I wanted

I would trade

For you I'd lay it down

For you I'd give it up

Tell me that it's worth it

Tell me that it's love

Post-Chorus

(Oh-oh) lay it down

(Oh-oh) lay it down

Verse 2

Mama said don't lose yourself

Chasing things that fade so fast

I laughed and I packed my bags

Called her from a payphone

Told her I was gonna last

But the mirror asks me questions I can't answer

Pre-Chorus

And I know it costs me something

Every road I choose

But I'd pay it all again

Chorus

For you I'd lay it down

For you I'd walk away

Everything I wanted

I would trade

For you I'd lay it down

For you I'd give it up

Tell me that it's worth it

Tell me that it's love

Bridge

I count the things I let go

Soft and slow they disappear

Patience I gave freely

Years I won't get back

Still I'm standing here

Chorus

For you I'd lay it down

For you I'd walk away

Everything I wanted

I would trade

For you I'd lay it down

For you I'd give it up

Tell me that it's worth it

Tell me that it's love

Post-Chorus

(Oh-oh) lay it down

(Oh-oh) lay it down
