I Gave You
Bonnie 'Prince' Billy
i gave you child and you didnt want it
thats the most that i have to give
i gave you house and you didnt want it
ow 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'ld give you a dream and you'ld only wake from it
ow i'll never go to sleep again
i gave you a tresure and you 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
gave you my body and you had plenty
i gave you ten lives and you wasted twenty
ow im standing empty, hopeless, and bare
without a morsel left of me to give
and you, you had vanished into the air
the air in which i must live
