Something to give

  

I met this guy, he wanted to keep me

He loved that I was so strong

But he captured my dreams and fed them with dependence

Perhaps I stayed there too long

 

“For us”, he said, “now nothing can come between us”

“For us”, he said, but he didn’t know 

To be able to share a life you have to have something to give

something to give

He said “give yourself to me or let me go

Cut me loose, start to breath, feel the flow”

I let him go

 

I met this girl, she wanted to love me

She wanted me for her own

She took essential parts of myself and my freedom

She told me it was a loan

 

“For us”, she said, “now nothing can come between us”

“For us”, she said, but she didn’t know

To be able to share a life you have to have something to give

something to give

She said “give yourself to me or let me go

Cut me loose, start to breath, feel the flow”

I let her go
