Shouldn't Have Took More Than You Gave

Shouldn't have took more than you gave

Then we wouldn't be in this mess today

I know we've all got different ways

But the dues we've got to pay are still the sameJust trying to change the script for this old play

You're reading and not feelin' what you say

Comin' on too strong for me to stay

Interpret what you see in any waySeems the simple things are hardest to explain

Winter's gonna come too soon, and deaden all the pain

Footprints in the snow will show where the things are still the same

Till you get warmth of the sun of someone [to] help to live againShouldn't have took more than you gave

Then we wouldn't be in this mess today

I know we've all got different ways

But the dues we've got to pay, are still the same
