The Love I Gave

You are my worker I am your queen

You are the dirt I am your clean

You are the grease and I'm shampoo

You're every reason I shouldn't miss you

You're every bad turn I made

You're all the love I gave...

 

But even knowing that causes me pain...

I wouldn't give it back for anything.

 

Little to nothing

Is what right now I believe

Few to no one

Is who I get to see

 

Often to always

Is how I feel about occurrence of pain

It rips me apart

and makes me vain

 

You are the shy and I am the scream

I am the balance and you are the beam

You are the blood throughout my veins

and you are also all the love I gave
