Lyrics

GENRE: COUNTRY, ROCK (crossover)
TEMPO: MEDIUM
-----------------------
I WAS ALWAYS GIVING
VERSE 1
I used to be nice
Now I'm cold as ice
I used to believe in love
Now I want what I want
VERSE 2
I used to laugh a lot
And I loved being bad
Now I only feel despair
I only feel despair
CHORUS
I was always giving
He was always taking
It was making me angry
It was driving me crazy
Yeah crazy
I was always giving
He was always taking
I couldn't take it no more
So I walked out the door
I was always giving
But no more, no more
VERSE 3
Next time I'll take it slow
I'm still young, I'll wait till I know
That he's the one I want
Before I give him my heart
VERSE 4
For now I'm gonna have fun
Not worry about being in love, oh no
They'll be no tears for me, no tears
After all I've still got my dreams
CHORUS
I was always giving
He was always taking
It was making me angry
It was driving me crazy
Yeah, crazy
I was always giving
He was always taking
I couldn't take it no more
So I walked out the door
I was always giving
But no more, no more
BRIDGE
From now on I'll be the taker
Let the man be the giver
I'll be a trophy wife, yeah
I'd love being in the limelight
CHORUS
I was always giving
He was always taking
It was making me angry
It was driving me crazy
Yeah, crazy
I was always giving
He was always taking
I couldn't take it no more
So I walked out that door
I couldn't take it no more
So I walked out the door
