Your Thorns Make Me Bleed

give me peace and tranquility on a sandy shore alone

give me love to share with someone new

give me my heart it wasn't yours to take

give me a choice all i'll make the right decision

give me freedom to do as I please

give me his lips to kiss passionately

give me a voice to be heard near and far

give me wings to spread like an eagle

give me a chance to show you i'm the best

give me a hug so i can squeeze out your soul

give me hands to grasp a life of my own

give me a reason to live

keep your ears you've never heard a word i've said

keep your opinions they were all wrong

keep your dreams i was never a part of them

keep your eyes they were mirrors of hate

keep your misery that's all you've shared with me

keep our memories i dont want them

keep your knowledge it doesn't impress me

keep your passion you never had it to give

keep your roses the thorns made me bleed

keep your candles they were brighter than your eyes

keep your calmness i hated that about you

keep your nose pointed in the air

keep your love poems there was no fire in them

keep your jail, jealousy and anger

you never wanted me to fly

keep your apology.... it's too late.
