Is that a thing so very hard to give?
All I ever longed for was your presence
Your very touch the reason that I lived
All I ever gave you was my everything
Each and every sacred part of me
My body, mind and spirit I surrendered
And by your love I found myself set free
All I ever needed was your arms around me
Safe within the warmth of your embrace
All I ever cared for was your happiness
Content to sit and gaze upon your face
All I ever did was make a god of you
Enshrine you and worship at your feet
All I ever offered was the best I had to give
And you a glutton for those offerings sweet
But all you ever showed me was illusion
The words so sweet you spoke revealed as lies
All you ever gave was disappointment
Watching, so unfeeling, as I cried
All you ever took from me was everything
Sacrifices willingly surrendered
All you ever offered me was nothing
But false fantasies in brilliance rendered
All you ever really gave was heartache
All you really cared about was you
But all you taught me will be well remembered
I've learned enough to know that we are through
All I've learned from you will make me stronger
All your frauds have taught me how to see
And I will think upon your face no longer
But you, I'm sure, will never forget me.
