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
