IF I GAVE YOU

If I gave you my heart,
Tell me what would you do?
Would you treat it
Like something precious to you?

Or would you abuse it
And tear it apart?
Would you misuse
And break my heart?

If I gave you my love,
Would you give me yours too?
Would you hold me close
And tell me that you love me too?

Or would you simply take it
And give me nothing in return?
Would you leave me to wonder
And leave me to yearn?

If I gave you my trust
Would you treat it with care?
Would you give me a reason
To place my trust there?

Or would you misplace it
And not care at all?
Would you ignore
And shun me when I call?

If I gave you these three things
So precious to me,
Won�t you please tell me
What your answer would be?
