All You Can Give

Without a doubt, I've taken all you can give
And now I suffer through this song
Feel free to hum alongGoing back a few short years, I can see
That I was never really here
As I collect the facts and sort them in rows
It seems the question's always been
"How long can I keep this going?"You can use it against me
In your saddest state of mind
Use it against me with my ego on the line
Use it against me anytimeI try to simplify the plot to an outline
But I can never make the end
I want to read some lines
That stray from the screenplay
Improvisation's never been
Something I can keep goingYou can use it against me
In your saddest state of mind
Use it against me with my ego on the line
Use it against meI've never preached a single word
That doesn't sound absurd
I don't know how to pound it in
To make it stick under my skinYou can use it against me
In your saddest state of mind
Use it against me with my ego on the line
Use it against me anytime
