growing up

a couple of couple tees i held so dearly
the photobox pictures so old the colors faded
a pile of beads bracelets left untouched
and memories so many it's hard to dismiss

give and take
the value everyone is holding on now
give and take
the value i was clueless of

all i ever know is to give
to give even though i'm running out
to give even though there's nothing left to give
to give to you who is overflowing

i gave you
you took from me
i give you
but now i'm free
