Give Everything Lyrics

I let others affect the way I live
I tell myself it's their fault that I don't give
I don't take responsibilities for myself, or care about anyone else
I'm tired of being this way, trying to be careful of what I say.
I better start by coming from the heart

Cause if I wanna dance I would just dance
If I wanna sing I'll just give everything
If I wanna cry I'm not shy
If I wanna sing I'll just give everything
Just give everything

I put aside my dreams and expectations
Sleep walking not using my imagination
I never express exactly how I feel
This is what I fear
There are really no mistakes
Just a thousand risks I've gotta take
Better start by coming from the heart
I'm tired of being this way
Trying to be careful of what I say
Tired of holding back all this time

If I wanna dance I would just dance
If I wanna sing I'll just give everything
If I wanna cry I'm not shy
If I wanna sing I'll just give everything

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
