I Gave You

I gave you the voice I gave you the pen I gave you the paper To write a letter To those who should know better I gave you the hands With which to plead I gave you the tears To show how much you hurt I gave you the bruise To show others what's done to you I gave you the blood For the injuries to bleed I gave you belief Beyond the life you live I gave you the man That's given you so much pain Thank me for your lesson And everything you gained
