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
