Die For You

You say I've given you nothing,
That you can hold in your hand,
But there's so much more to love and life,
Than you seem to understand
All these contradictions,
Between what you do and what you say,
Why can't you get it through your head?
You can't always have it your way!

(You ask me what I'd give,
To you, just to please
You're only happy when I give,
When I'm on my knees...)

I'd give you anything!
Even my last breath of life,
Heaven for myself, I would deny!
Can you feel it across the miles,
As I cry!
Can you feel it as I fade,
As I slowly slip away,
Can you feel it...
As I die for you...?

The power of persuassion,
That you use on your own mind,
Leaves no room for error,
So when you fall, why are you surprised?
You think it's all or nothing,
That I should give while you take
Why can't you see things through,
Why can't you make choices like I make!

(You ask me what I'd give,
To you, just to please
You're only happy when I give,
When I'm on my knees...)

I'd give you anything!
Even my last breath of life,
Heaven for myself, I would deny!
Can you feel it across the miles,
As I cry!
Can you feel it as I fade,
As I slowly slip away,
Can you feel it...
As I die for you...?

I often wonder,
If to you, I am alive,
If I'm more than a means to an end,
Because I just can't decide

Why you treat me like you do...

I'd give you anything!
Even my last breath of life,
Heaven for myself, I would deny!
Can you feel it across the miles,
As I cry!
Can you feel it as I fade,
As I slowly slip away,
Can you feel it as I die?
I'd give you anything!
Because that's how love is supposed to be,
Each one feeding the other's needs,
But you don 't seem to agree!
I'd give you anything!
Even my last breath of life,
Heaven for myself, I would deny!
Can you feel it across the miles,
As I cry!
Can you feel it as I fade,
As I slowly slip away,
Can you feel it...
As I die for you...?
