Andy Northrup All to You lyrics

You woke me with a kiss this morning
Then disappeared without a warning
Left me with this cup of blackness that's been trying to melt my spoon
I wanna be the one you sing to
but all I am is the one you cling to
Swimming through the sea of ego that'll toss you to your ruin

How much more should I expect to take in stride?
And what made you forget that I might need my pride
Cause every selfish lie that I once held up as true
Is asking for the reason I gave it all to you

Trying to resurrect the old trust
Is like sifting through the dirt for gold dust
Swallowing the things that help me see it like a dream
Weary of the old excuses
Leary of the jacks and deuces
Looking for the darker truth in every nervous scheme

I've spent so many years explaining it away
I still can hear myself when I said I chose to stay
But times like now arrive and all that I can do
Is try to find the reason I gave it all to you


Who's on the other side of all that you hold dear
Who's on the make, who's in the way
What underhanded move will justify my fear
Who's gonna change our rules today

I'm listening to the wind that's blowing
Trying to keep my mind from closing
The future is the one decider that never shows it's hand
It's easy being sad and lonesome
But love is for the ones who've shown some
So here I am, a silent witness who never takes the stand

Cause time's been leading us along it's railway line
And we still have some laughs and sometimes we still shine
So if I calm my head, my heart might see what's true
And I pray I find the reason I gave it all to you
Cause God knows I need the reason I gave it all to you
