This Much Is Mine

[Verse 1]
You give your Sunday to the tired
Your last good thought to someone spun
I watch you split your careful kindness
Till every thread comes loose at once

[Pre-Chorus]
I reach to catch what isn't falling
I hold the wheel against the tide
Some things answer when I call them
Some keep moving on their own side

[Chorus]
Give what you can, let the rest turn
Love isn't owed back, love isn't earned
I can stay soft, I can still say
This much is mine; that slips away

[Verse 2]
I want to fix the weather in you
I want to name the ache and mend
But every heart has its own current
And care can't steer it to the end

[Bridge]
I am not cruel for choosing limits
I am not gone when I let go
I give with both hands, not to bind you
I love you, and I know what I don't know

[Final Chorus]
Give what you can, let the rest turn
Love isn't owed back, love isn't earned
I can stay soft, I can still say
This much is mine; that slips away

[Outro]
This much is mine
That slips away
