Sometimes songs just find you. I was about to give up after an unproductive writing session when the tune just emerged. The song wrote itself in under an hour after that. Thank you songwriter gods!
CAN'T GIVE MY LOVE AWAY
Don’t always get what you deserve
Keep reservations in reserve
Falling over myself to come home
It’s not too easy to be on your own
Play a fanfare when they find your cover’s blown
CHORUS
I can’t give my love away
I can’t give my love away
Tear up the pictures we adore
My hopes all falling through the floor
Going over the pieces again
So confused to the power of ten
Wasn’t worth the wait for every now and then
CHORUS
Tripping over the message I sent
What you read wasn’t quite what I meant
Nothing’s hidden now you’ve shown me your intent
CHORUS
