we give ourselves
a beginning a middle and an end
we look for love
and a couple of friends
it's how you see it
not what you see
you don't really know much
just what you believe

give me something to hold onto
give me something to keep
you don't have to give it all
just enough to let me sleep
you don't have to give it all

i gave myself
a beginning a middle and an end
still look for love
and have a couple of friends
that's how i see it
but it's not what i see
you don't really know me
i'm not what i seem

give me something to hold onto
give me something to keep
you don't have to give it all
just enough to let me sleep
you don't have to give it all
give me something to hold onto
give me something to keep

are you half empty
what have they stolen
are you half full
what did they fill you with

give me something to hold onto
give me something to keep
you don't have to give it all
just enough to let me sleep
you don't have to give it all
you don't have to give it all
you don't have to give it all
just enough to let me sleep
