I Gave You Everything 

 

You've made it clear that you don't want me around

You're acting like we never shared anything

You've made it clear that you don't want me by your side

Holding onto the hope one day you'll see

That I belong with you and you should be with me

Don't they know how the coldness it makes me feel, how it makes me feel

 

I gave you everything, I helped you spread your wings

Like a satellite you're spinning me around the world

She is everything, this song's for you I sing

Like a pre madonna love never mattered to you

There's no end in sight to all the sleepless nights

Like a sugar hit I crave you everyday, what are you doing tonight?

 

You've made it clear by blocking me on FaceBook and friends

Don't they know that you promised me it would never end

I hope the next time around you're gonna try to be kind, and then you'll find

The love you craved but with me you always pushed it away

Promising that you would tell me the truth someday

Well I'm still waiting and I'm ready to hear what you have to, then we could find a way

 

I gave you everything, I helped you spread your wings

Like a satellite you're spinning me around the world

She is everything, this song's for you I sing

Like a pre madonna love never mattered to you

There's no end in sight to all the sleepless nights

Like a sugar hit I crave you everyday, what are you doing tonight?

 

Maybe I could have done it better by trying to open up to you

What you didn't understand is how you always wanted control, I couldn't choose 

Now here you are trying to hunt me down it's no concern of yours how I spend my time, or where I am

You're no longer on my mind

 

You've made it clear that you don't want me around

You're acting like we never shared anything

You've made it clear that you no longer need me by your side

 

I gave you everything, I helped you spread your wings

(I don't)

Like a satellite you're spinning me around the world

(Need anything from you)

She is everything, this song's for you I sing

(I'm my own)

Like a pre madonna love never mattered to you

(Voice, my life is what I choose)

There's no end in sight to all the sleepless nights

(Breaking free)

Like a sugar hit I crave you everyday, what are you doing tonight?

(I don't crave you everyday)

 

Room at the Chapel 

 

She dances under the southern skies, these peaceful delights

Where the weight of the sails doesn't chain their hands, it's gospel all the way tonight

Ca you hear the sounds of the delta blues, fills the tavern with ivory

Four years of time on the union line, now faded memories

 

Now I'm walking hand in hand with dixie as Armstrong claims the stage 

I'm renting a room at the steps of the chapel, St. Jude is gonna light my way

 

Working the mills in the country towns, I met my first love in 75

She was a seamstress of wonder that left me breathless like the Mississippi in moonshine

But I kept jumping from train to train and she had every right to move on

Years of searching lead me to New Orleans in a city where I felt I belonged 

 

Cause I'm walking hand in hand with dixie as Armstrong claims the stage 

I'm renting a room at the steps of the chapel, St. Jude is gonna light my way

 

This gift of freedom brings me to me knees, a generation frozen in time

I thank the lord who catches the tears, sweet Georgias on my mind

 

She dances under the southern skies, these peaceful delights

Where the weight of the sails doesn't chain their hands, it's gospel all the way tonight

Cause I'm walking hand in hand with dixie as Armstrong claims the stage 

I'm renting a room at the steps of the chapel, St. Jude is gonna light my way

'm walking hand in hand with the angels, there's no place I'd rather be

I pray at the steps where they rescued my father, let St. Jude set me free

 

 

 

 

Temple of Trust 

 

Take me home to bed, to rest my head, I'm feeling overwhelmed

I, don't want to go, but if we take it slow, nobody has to know

 

Love is where you are, and when we part, the darkness closes in

Safe is what I feel, with you life is real, I wish that I could never leave

 

Mary is a temple of trust that can't be sold

Eyes of the ocean and a heart of gold

Shines like a diamond sings with the sirens, she steals my soul

Mary lays me down to was the pain

Breaking the heartache and drought, she brings the rain

Couldn't think of what to say as we ran into the month of May

 

We, we chase the sun, and when the night is done we greet the magic dawn

With your head in mine, life is fine, there's no such thing as time

 

Mary is a temple of trust that can't be sold

Eyes of the ocean and a heart of gold

Shines like a diamond sings with the sirens, she steals my soul

Mary lays me down to was the pain

Breaking the heartache and drought, she brings the rain

 

Take me home, I'm no longer alone, love is where you are

Life is fine, now that you're on my mind

With your hand on mine

Goodbye 

 

Nothing's getting better, I tried to keep it in, but now it's getting out

Once we had the passion, the company we keep has filled you with doubt

Each day is just surviving, these four walls won't knock you off your cloud

 

All your excuses of failure, they just wear thin to the point where I don't care anymore

It's breaking my back don't question me about love, for I've got no feelings, feelings

When faith is torn apart it leaves me with no feeling, feelings

And walking out is where it starts

 

So goodbye, goodbye so long

I'm heading for blue skies, blue skies, it's where I belong

And tonight, tonight I smash the fear and walk away from dark times to sunshine

It's a beautiful day

 

Wanting to escape from all of the tyrants that surround us, my patience wearing thin

They don't care for consequence or authorities and empathy,

they've stripped me of feelings, feelings, these words of attitude

They won't stop me from believing, believing in what is real

 

So goodbye, goodbye so long

I'm heading for blue skies, blue skies, it's where I belong

And tonight, tonight I smash the fear and walk away from dark times to sunshine

It's a beautiful day

 

Raise the fight when you locked the door, take the blame you pushed on me

I don't abide to the painted view that won't let us be free

 

So goodbye, goodbye so long

I tried to keep it in, but now it's getting out, I want to scream and shout

For now I'm believing, believing in what is real

 

So goodbye, goodbye so long

I'm heading for blue skies, blue skies, it's where I belong

And tonight, tonight I smash the fear and walk away from dark times to sunshine

It's a beautiful day

 

So goodbye don't keep it, we've no longer secrets now
