Zaki - Gave It All Away Lyrics

I gave it all away, very first day
Made an effort, fought so you would let me stay
I put in all I had, I changed myself around
I swapped and joined groups but you just wanted clout
You didn't really care, I should've seen that
Instead I kept on pushing something that would not push back
In hindsight it was bad, I should've given up
Before I wasted all that effort somewhere wrong
I gave it all away, I never got it back
Made the wrong choices, screwed up what to have
I picked the wrong friends if I can call them that
Begged on the floor, dumped on the side
I gave it all away, I should've kept more
Saved myself a piece instead of tossing all
All this effort down the drain
All my effort turned into pain
Gave it all away
Now you wanna talk, now you wanna try
I shouldn't take a shot but I know I do everytime
I'll stop to say no until I change my mind
Cause I don't really wanna give you up at all
Gave it all away
I showed up each time when you would cry
Listen to your problems, find a way to make it fine
Where were you then?
When you were on the mend
Didn't need a guy like me around as your friend
I gave it all away, I never got it back
Made the wrong choices, screwed up what to have
I picked the wrong friends if I can call them that
Begged on the floor, dumped on the side
I gave it all away, I should've kept more
Saved myself a piece instead of tossing all
All my effort down the drain
All my effort turned into pain
Gave it all away
Now you wanna talk, now you wanna try
I shouldn't take a shot but I know I do everytime
I'll stop to say no until I change my mind
Cause I don't really wanna give you up
Look how this has gone for you
You shot yourself in the foot
Can't say it wasn't coming
Now, you want my help again
You're back when it suits you
Well screw that and screw you
I gave it all away, I never got it back
Made the wrong choices, screwed up what to have
I picked the wrong friends if I can call them that
Begged on the floor, dumped on the side
I gave it all away
Saved myself a piece
All my effort
All my effort
Gave it all away

I gave it all away, very first day
Made an effort, fought so you would let me stay
I put in all I had, I changed myself around
I swapped and joined groups but you just wanted clout
You didn't really care, I should've seen that
Instead I kept on pushing something that would not push back
In hindsight it was bad, I should've given up
Before I wasted all that effort somewhere wrong
I gave it all away, I never got it back
Made the wrong choices, screwed up what to have
I picked the wrong friends if I can call them that
Begged on the floor, dumped on the side
I gave it all away, I should've kept more
Saved myself a piece instead of tossing all
All this effort down the drain
All my effort turned into pain
Gave it all away
Now you wanna talk, now you wanna try
I shouldn't take a shot but I know I do everytime
I'll stop to say no until I change my mind
Cause I don't really wanna give you up at all
Gave it all away
I showed up each time when you would cry
Listen to your problems, find a way to make it fine
Where were you then?
When you were on the mend
Didn't need a guy like me around as your friend
I gave it all away, I never got it back
Made the wrong choices, screwed up what to have
I picked the wrong friends if I can call them that
Begged on the floor, dumped on the side
I gave it all away, I should've kept more
Saved myself a piece instead of tossing all
All my effort down the drain
All my effort turned into pain
Gave it all away
Now you wanna talk, now you wanna try
I shouldn't take a shot but I know I do everytime
I'll stop to say no until I change my mind
Cause I don't really wanna give you up
Look how this has gone for you
You shot yourself in the foot
Can't say it wasn't coming
Now, you want my help again
You're back when it suits you
Well screw that and screw you
I gave it all away, I never got it back
Made the wrong choices, screwed up what to have
I picked the wrong friends if I can call them that
Begged on the floor, dumped on the side
I gave it all away
Saved myself a piece
All my effort
All my effort
Gave it all away
