Giving It All Away

​

For all the things I’ve never done 
For all the songs I’ve never sung 
For all the things I wanted to say 
For all the days that don’t amaze 
For all the nights became a haze 
Guess I’m giving it all away 

For all the dreams you had for me 
For all the things I’ll never be 
For silver linings all turned grey 
For thoughtless words so quickly said 
For eyes of blue now always red 
Guess I’m giving it all away 

For hopes, for promises, for dreams 
For magic wide-eyed hopeless schemes 
For all the games I wanted to play 
For all the people I misled 
Cried and lied to, screwed and bled 
Guess I’m giving it all away 

And all the smiles forced through the tears 
For all these crazy, fucked-up years 
Well now I’m giving it all away 
For all the days and hours mis-used 
For all those issues I confused 
Well now I’m giving it all away 

In all the days I spent with you 
In all the things we tried to do 
In all the the words we’d ever say 
There was a sunrise overcast 
That’s now a sunset unsurpassed 
Cos I was giving it all away 

And now its ending, now its gone 
I’ll let you all just carry on 
Just one more thing to say 
Here’s to you - A fond farewell 
Sure to see you all in Hell 
Because you’ve given me all away
