Giving Lyrics

Giving me cause so I may yearn
Giving me words so I may learn
I want more I want more
Giving me thoughts that I may keep
Giving me dreams so I may sleep
I want more I want more
Still all I need is love
So give me more

Giving me calm to fall into
Giving me hope to guide me thru
I want more I want more
Giving me light to see thru tears
Giving me strength to crush my fears
I want more I want more
Still all I need is love
So give me more

I won't break you down
I won't bring you down anymore

Giving me choice so I may seek
Giving me faith so I'll believe
I want more I want more
Giving me breath of your mercy
Giving yourself to comfort me
I want more I want more
Still all I need is love
So give me more

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.

He loves to learn and he's thankful for everything he's able to learn and feel, but he wants to know what more love feels like. If give me more love, I promise not to bug you anymore. He's longing to know what love feels like.

Seems like some (girl)friend is always being nice to him, but he senses that she doesn't really LOVE him, and all he wants is her love.

I can TOTALLY relate with this song, man. Like aimlessalpha's saying, he's always unsure if this girlfriend of his really does love him, as he really really wants her to. It's just like me, man. I have like this inferiority complex when it comes to my girlfriend sometimes, it's weird...it's like, you know they love you, but you almost need to hear them SAY it, which I think is also part of this song.

Great song, by the way.

I think it's about a women that fills up his entire life and he still wants more love from her because what she got and gives to him, he can never get enough because it's damn good. She fulfills his entire life. And maybe he realizes this because he hurt her and will not do it again.
