They say the lord gives and he takes
But it seems like he's only taking these days
Why is it every good thing's always slipping away?

I try to hold on and I try to fight him
No matter what I do, my chances are slim
Tug of war isn't easy on my weary limbs

I give it my all and it's getting old
When he takes all my joy and just leaves me cold
What is this lie that we're getting sold?

He gives and the takes
but I can't get a break
Oh he takes and he takes and he takes
