I Give

from Almost There by Turnpike Gates

/

lyrics

A sunken cost
But nothing lost
When nothing’s venture, nothing’s gained
My albatross
My sinner’s cross
The concierge to all my pain
The things you sought
The things you caught
Were never gonna bear your name
But if I thought
That you were not
Engulfed in flames, then I’m insane

I probably never told you how much I’d admire
The way you cracked a smile, surrounded by that fire

I’m always running away
From the games you played
Just to make the man say, ‘I give’
My whole plan faded away
It backfired that day
The man made me say, ‘I give’

You walked alone
I found a home
Back where we stayed when we were green
Should I atone?
That milestone
Always seemed like such a dream
When they threw stones
You broke bones
I didn’t want to make a scene
But had I know
That you were prone
To get so dirty, I’d have stayed clean
