Bonnie 'Prince' Billy - I Gave You lyrics
Your rating:
I gave you a child, and you didnt want it Thats the most that I have to give. I gave you a house, and you didnt want it Now where am I supposed to live. I gave you a tree and you did not embrace it I gave you a nightmare and you didnt chase it I'd give you a dream and you'd only wake from it Now I'll never go to sleep again. I'd give you a treasure and you'd only take from it Look at the hole where jewlery had been Baby oh baby Why must you espcape from it This love that we once called our friend. (hoo ooo, ooo. hoo ooo ooo...) I gave you my body and you ate aplenty I gave you ten lives and you wasted twenty. Now I'm standing empty, helpless and bare, without a morsel left of me to give And you, you have vanished, into the air The air in which I must live
