Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
Why would I want to try and meet You halfway?
Why would I back down when there's still a fight in me?
Why only give You what I hold in my hands?
Why would I ever jump with nowhere to land?
And why surrender if I won't go to my knees?
I won't just give You the best of me
When You want, You want my everything
Who am I to give You just the pretty things?
Am I the same as the one who gives You nothing?
And what if nothing was what You chose to do
All because the cost was too much for You?
I can't imagine where I would be
I won't just give You the best of me
When You want, You want my everything
Won't You come and take what's left
And while You're here, take the rest
I won't just give You the best of me
Not just my heart
But my life too!
Oh I belong, I belong
I belong to You!
I won't just give You the best of me
When You want, You want my everything
Won't You come and take what's left
And while You're here, take the rest
I won't just give You the best of me
