As I lay on your chest
I hear the soft beating beneath your vest
Of my my favourite lullaby.

I'd give up everything
just to make you content
but it isn't my fight
or my gift to give

You gave up everything
without even looking
or acknowledging
what others would
give for you

We gave up
because we thought
we were selfless
but reality can lie
to you

In my eyes,
the sun rose and set
in yours.
