Carl Eaton - Give And Take Lyrics

Well, we've both moved on and we both have grown
And we've come so far from what we had known before, before
And it's all so clear that it wasn't right
All we ever did was scream and fight some more, some more

But I learned so much from my mistakes
That love's a game of give and take
And looking back I wasn't always right
I see the faults in who I was
But didn't see them then because
Being there for someone was never a concern
My heart was always broken, my hands were always burnt
Love was but a stranger, I had so much to learn

The memories of our affair
Aren't pleasant but they help me share the blame, the blame
I wouldn't be where I am now if
You had never shown me how to play the game

Cos I learned so much from my mistakes
That love's a game of give and take
And I was only thinking of myself
Though you were far from being fair
You never loved, you never cared
I didn't always listen, you didn't give a damn
But still I see you helped me become the man I am
It's funny how much value can come from such a sham

It was no surprise we parted
It was over before it started
But I've been well-educated
Good has come from what you hated

Yeah, I learned so much from my mistakes
That love's a game of give and take
And now I'm understanding, agreeable and kind
And now I find the right words are easier to find
I love her and she loves me, we know each others mind"
