The Joy Formidable – You Can't Give Me lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm really not alone
I'm not the kind of girl that does forlorn
No place I wanna be
No one I wanna see

Everything good will always change its way
Oh I'm better on my own

[Verse 2]
If I dig up buried thoughts
And I make that song play again
If you see that I'm outside
That won't make me come in

Oh I could make you feel so very loved
I can make you feel so far away

[Chorus]
You can't give me what you're feeling
You can't give me what you're feeling
We can hide away in dreams
But it'll end the same with me
Oh I know

[Verse 3]
This town keeps moving
But my mind's like a clear night
Just think about you, the choices in my hand

There's a shadow passing over our clock
There's so much of you that I've already lost

[Chorus]
You can't give me what you're feeling
You can't give me what you're feeling
We can hideaway in dreams
But it'll end the same, you see
Oh I know

[Bridge 1]
We go forward, pay the past
Do you think people fade things fast
Oh let it go

[Chorus]
You can't give me what you're feeling
We can hideaway in dreams
But it'll end the same, you see
Oh I know
It was our hands that cut the stem
Have we learnt anything since then
I don't know

[Bridge 2]
This here's not mine
A stranger came by, I held, I tried
No more, too near
You can talk to the crowds, I can't wait here
These hands now cold
No gentle unfolding, unfolding
It's too old
Oh this blink that cursed the eye
I've taken mine
And I know it feels strange, but now I'm letting go
