Gave My Heart Out Lyrics - Till Midnight - Chuck Ragan

Tried it my way to get it right 

Always got cut down to size 

I never thought enough about it 

Was quick to quit and quick to shout about it 

I cut my feet while I cut my teeth 

Breaking out rather breathlessly 

Independent but sadly faulty 

Dedicated but a bit unholy 

(On) my own 

I only wanted what it meant to be free 

To take the whole world on and bury 

all the pride of a mercenary 

the egotistical, high and mighty, 

good for nothing, illegitimate hybrids 

who would never bust the chain of misguided 

Before I knew it I'd fallen and faded 

into the system, destined to be jaded 

(On) my own 

Then I found rapture, I found warning 

and gave my heart out to never be so 

Alone 

(On) my own
