I used to have some prized possesions
I kept them in a crystal case
People came from miles around just to hear the sound
Of those guitars I had in that space
But when I lost my reason for being
The day she walked out the door
They were just no good
Only wires and wood and nothing more
And I realized in that moment
What took me years to see
There was nothing left of value
So if you see yourself in me
Give it away
All your foolish pride
All your restless greed
Everything you need
Is waiting for you deep inside
I could've been the rightest man in the graveyard
Or a man that's rich in faith
That's when I decided to give it away
It's really just a grand delusion
It's only just a tender trap
They try and persuade you to fall in love
With things that can't love you back
I'm looking high and low for somebody
Who knows how precious life can be
You don't need the gold and the glory
To set your spirit free
Give it away
All your foolish pride
All your restless greed
Everything you need
Is waiting for you deep inside
I could've been the rightest man in the graveyard
Or a man that's rich in faith
That's when I decided to give it away
I can't slow down
Making up for years of lost time
Waiting at the edge of midnight
To finally start living the life I choose
One way out
Even if I'm living it hand to mouth
I only know if it all goes south
At least I got nothing to lose
Give it away
You got to give it
You got to give it away
Give it away
All your foolish pride
All your restless greed
Everything you need
Is waiting for you deep inside
I could've been the rightest man in the graveyard
Or a man that's rich in faith
That's when I decided
That's when I decided
To give it away
Oh, give it away
You got to give it
Give it away
You got to give it
Give it away
You got to give it
Give it away
You got to give it
Give it, give it away
