Not everything ever turns out quite like you want it as your fears imposed all the paths you chose, yeah But sooner or later you'll get what you needed If you'd only give this away Did everything turn out just like you wanted Have your fears exposed your decision to walk alone And I've finally realized this is what you've needed Now I'm ready to give this away Give you away.
