"The Giver" lyrics

"The Giver"

You give him head in the basement
You laugh at his jokes, stomach aching
Fake when you come, taking a pill
He leaves when it's done

You forgive when he doesn't get home
Tell your friends you don't really mind being alone
You are the one who can change him
Satiate him

I'm a giver, he says "Me too"
He is hungry for someone but doesn't know who
I'm a giver or am I a fool?
He forgets the words, so I teach him to say "I love you"

He turns around when you're naked
Says "We should be friends" while you're changing
You nod, half-dressed, he says "It's for the best"
And "You know, you're really not like the rest"
So, we part our lips for the taking
But if these lips could open, they'd scream
"I wanna love you like I'm raining"
Like I don't need saving

But I'm a giver and he's immune
He is hungry for someone but doesn't know who
I'm a giver, he's the moon
And I reach and I reach, and I forgive the girl who loved you

Are you hungry for me, baby, are you hungry?
Are you hungry for me, baby, are you hungry?
Are you hungry for me, baby, are you hungry?
Are you hungry for me, baby, are you hungry?
