You Gave Up On Us

You 
gave up 
on us
My love 
for you 
was 
strong 
enough 
to get 
both of 
us by
But you 
gave up 
on us.

I 
wanted 
only to 
love you
I 
wanted 
to be 
with you
Through 
your 
highs 
and lows
Through 
your 
bitter 
and 
sweet
Through 
your 
narrow 
and wide
I 
wanted 
to be 
there
To love 
you 
more 
and 
more
But 
You 
gave up 
on us.

You 
gave up 
on us
Walked 
away 
from us
Destroyed 
what 
we've 
built
Disassembled 
what 
we've 
assembled...
You 
gave up 
on us!
You 
gave up 
on us!
You 
gave up 
on us!

You 
walked 
away 
from
Me
Us
You 
walked 
away
You 
gave up 
on us

I had to 
journey 
on
With my 
pride 
still 
intact
With my 
head 
not 
bowed
Because 
you 
gave up 
on us, 
Mmboneni!

Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Have a blessed day.
