If I Gave You My Heart

If I gave you my heart, where would you be?
Would it mean nothing if not for me?
If I gave you my eyes, what would they see?
Would they see nothing if not for me?

But I gave you my hand and my sign and my soul on the earth
And I gave up on truth when I heard about the worst
I lived out of love when I gave it away
And I sold off my soul when there's no one to pay

If I gave you my hand, what would it write?
Would it say nothing or say it's alright?
If I gave you my arms, would they hold you tight
First light of morning or bid you goodnight?

And I gave you my strength and my worth and I gave you my gift
And I moved on the first and I left us to drift
And I reap from the soil and I build hopes from wood
It's a new better life and we have two and should

And I gave you my dream of the world and we stood on the quay
And we sang to the wind in the whole darkening sea
And I feel my weight and I guard my soul
And I found my beliefs when I found my control

I gave you my hand and my soul on the earth
And I gave up on the truth when I heard about the worst
So I lived out of love when I gave it away
And I sold off my soul when there's no one to pay
