You took the little gifts I gave as though
|
Afraid each one contained some sort of bribe
|
And so the joy you might have had from someone giving
|
'Cause they can has been denied
|
|
And now the frown of discontent upon your face
|
Grows deep and felt with time
|
And I'm gonna leave while I still love you
|
|
I know there's no way that I can
|
Make up to you for whatever wrong
|
Has caused you all the pain and sorrow
|
That your heart has lived on for so long
|
|
And the wall you've built between us
|
Higher now and harder now to climb
|
And I'm gonna leave while I still love you
|
|
I wish that I could be all the reasons
|
That you need to go on live'n'
|
I wish that I could give you what you want
|
So I can get what I'm not gett'n'
|
|
But happiness is not a gift
|
That I can bring you tied with pretty ribbons
|
And so before I'm left with only bitterness
|
And memories of bad times
|
|
Baby I'm gonna leave while I still love you
|
Baby I'm gonna leave while I still love you
|
