I Gave All I Had To Give

They say a heart only hurts to prove it still works Luke-warm tendancies Are you my latest mistake? Am I just another heart for you to break? Am I anything? Dammit I'm mad! I gave all I had to give And there's only so much I can take Never grow a wishbone where your backbone ought to be I'd walk from here to Africa, don't run from me Try for you, die for you, cry and fly just to lie with you If only you let me Am I crazy? Crazy for feeling so lonely Crazy, strange, mentally insane Wacky, potty daft and nutty I'm just me Eyes once cried happy tears Now arid, running on empty No longer soul windows, just used now to see But I've seen all I'll ever need For Tracie's Mish Mash contest
