She Gave Up

She gave up desire

To be a little more sane

She gave up her heart

To feel less pain

 

She gave up her dream

To see with her eyes

She gave up her sight

To live in her lies

 

She gave up her love

Because it hurt too much

But she still feels the loss

With no one to touch

 

She gave up her soul

Though it whispers at night

Why does it hurt

When she turns out the light

 

She gave up her fear

But it won't go away

She cries in the dark

For her last hope to stay

 

She gave up her music

So when he comes she would know

She's waiting forever

He died long ago

 

She gave up desire

But it keeps coming back

She's empty inside

And her future is black

 

She gave up her life

She gave up her soul

She gave it to you

And you don't even know
