Here is what I know:

You give and you give and you give

Because that's all you know how to do now

Because

Maybe if you keep giving you will be a good daughter

Except somewhere you must have gotten it wrong, gotten mixed up between the duties of a father and a daughter-

But you give and you give and you give

Maybe... maybe you can show him how worthy you are of love

Maybe... maybe he will learn how to give too

But

He takes.

Here is what I know:

He takes and takes and takes

He does not know what grade you are in but

You give him kindness

anyway

You give him love

anyway-

Darling, give him one more thing.

Give up.
