The Given – Cardboard – letras

On my birthday card was written; « …be assertive, » she wrote, « …take what you want. »And yes, unlike the « golden days », i don’t always know, no, what i want.I don’t always know what i want. i don’t always know what i want.And once again i’ll take what i am given…And once again i’m giving the given…Chorus:Giving the given i’ll strike the nail,Struck long ago it holds nothing together.Giving the given i’ll drive in the nail,Struck long ago…Written on my award was « work to your potential »,Know what you want, and yes, unlike the « golden days »I don’t always know, no, what i want.I don’t always know what i want. i don’t always know what i want.Once again i’ll take what i am givenAnd once again i’m giving the given(chorus)Maybe it’s a weakness of character,Negativity that is quite unattractive.Well, to some that would be giving the given,And i’d like to say that i don’t care.I try to perceive the sunshine,As not just a spiteTo burn my flesh and blind my eyes…Good day sunshine here it comes……(chorus)
