I wanted to give you my everything but I realized that I don't owe you that I think that if you really loved me you'd be happy with me giving you nothing Nothing tangible But even so, I'd give you my heart if I could I'd literally rip it out with my bare hands and give it to you but my hands wouldn't work without my heart and I know you wouldn't take it on your own I'd give you the sun, take it out of the sky and put a big ribbon on it if it's absence wouldn't leave the world and everyone in it cold and lifeless And maybe even then I still would I'd give you the very breath out of my lungs as long as you used it to sigh You told me you loved it when I sighed I sighed when you told me you loved me I guess this is a sort of paradox I think the whole love thing is a sort of paradox The only way out I know is out of your front door because you pushed me towards it so many times But I got lost in your lips when I was trying to tell you everything until I realized that I don't owe you that

A Sort of Paradox
I wanted to give you my everything but I realized that I don't owe you that I think that if you really loved me you'd be happy with me giving you nothing Nothing tangible But even so, I'd give you my heart if I could I'd literally rip it out with my bare hands and give it to you but my hands wouldn't work without my heart and I know you wouldn't take it on your own I'd give you the sun, take it out of the sky and put a big ribbon on it if it's absence wouldn't leave the world and everyone in it cold and lifeless And maybe even then I still would I'd give you the very breath out of my lungs as long as you used it to sigh You told me you loved it when I sighed I sighed when you told me you loved me I guess this is a sort of paradox I think the whole love thing is a sort of paradox The only way out I know is out of your front door because you pushed me towards it so many times But I got lost in your lips when I was trying to tell you everything until I realized that I don't owe you that
