Everything

Everything - Ron Pope

In a Mississippi hotel room

I was wounded and confused as I watched the 10 o'clock news

I was waiting on a late night call

That I knew would never come and though I doubt it's what you want

I call you from the steps outside

You say you were fast asleep and every lie it tortures me

I can't kill what does not bleed so please explain

Can you tell me what it is you need

Coz I've been trying still I cannot see

These wasted moments brought me to my knees

I just want to give you everything

If morning is my darkest time

In the night I sometimes follow you there is comfort without light

And I've been living with no hope

It was a shame to let it go It was drowning me so slow

I've never felt so far away

From the boy I used to be and I wonder what he'd see

From the corner of some street he met me today

Can you tell me what it is you need

Coz I've been trying still i cannot see

These wasted moments brought me to my knees

I just want to give you everything

In the letter that you wrote me last

There were words that burned to here and red lipstick on the mirror

You said loving me's a great mistake

Coz I have never loved myself and I am sorry if you felt

That maybe you could offer help to someone like me

Can you tell me what it is you need

Coz I've been trying still I cannot see

These wasted moments brought me to my knees

I just want to give you everything
