I Gave It All

I gave it all, I thought I did, All I had to give, I struggled and smiled through it all, hiding my fear and my tears, quiet in my shallow place, giving you the glory to take, Giving you my verry soul to take, , Why I ponder was it not enough why, have I given away my fate, I want to take it all back I do But, where I wonder would that leave you! Through all the tears and my fears, You still do not see what I have given you, Here is the person you want me to be, You'll never see the person inside of me, I'll wear my mask for now turned upside down, so you won't have to see the frown, I'll hide myself away in that lonely shallow place!!!
