I Gave You

Lyrics

I gave you a child, and you didn't want it
 Thats the most that I have to give.
 I gave you a house, and you didn't haunt 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 didn't 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 jewelry had been
 Baby oh baby
 Why must you escape 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
