Gave it all up for love

by Christie   Dec 5, 2004


I can’t believe how blue the sky is today,
When I am so gray and gloomy inside.
Two years ago, you swept me away,
Now, from me, you run and hide.
Sometimes life just isn’t fair.

When you asked me to run away with you,
At first I was very scared.
But I knew when I was with you, I never felt blue,
With each other, our hearts we shared.
We were quite a lovely pair.

I didn’t mind leaving home,
You knew that my parents beat me.
I remember, that night on the phone,
You said that you were coming to rescue me,
And that you’d love me forever.

We were happy, for a while,
But then we started to fight.
The bills were in a big unpaid pile,
And you started to come home late at night.
You still said you’ve leave me never.

When I was scared, you’d hold me,
But I saw the way you looked at that lady.
I tried to close my eyes and pretend not to see,
But you were acting very shady.
I knew that I’d be all alone soon.

When you finally left, I felt like I’d failed,
Even thought I knew it was coming.
All I could think about was how good you smelled,
And how you spent every day humming.
And the way your lips made me swoon.

I don’t have companions anymore,
I left my friends and parents for you.
I’ve slept in a warehouse on the floor
Ever since you said we were through.
I gave up everything for love.
