i wanted to give you the sea
you give gave me a grain of sand

i wanted to give you the sky
you gave me fog

i wanted to give you song
you gave me a lyric

you could take this two ways,
i was in the wrong because i didn't
appreciate what he had to give me

or i was stupid,
wanting to give him the world
when all he every gave was two cents

think what you want
either way
you still your heart intact
