Lyrics
I used to have hopes and dreams
But they died a long time ago it seems
I thought you?d make it all alright
So I signed away on the dotted line
Now I?m trying to understand
Where I fit into your master plan
I?m not sure I can go on like this
Have we lost everything since that first kiss
Chorus:
I gave away my life so you could live yours
I?ve been openin? all your windows
And closing all my doors
And I?m not asking for it back
But I need a reason why
I gave away my life
Now here we are today
You?re still going and I?m just wasting away
Do you even know that I?m alive
And can you tell me that your satisfied
Baby tell me if your gonna leave me alone
Cause I don?t see how we can keep going on
I still love you, but you don?t realize
Everything I?ve had to sacrifice
CHORUS
Baby tell me is this what you had in mind
I?ve lost everything and you don?t even realize
CHORUS
I gave away my life to let you live yours
I?ve been openin? all your windows and closing all my doors
And I?m not asking for it back
But I need a reason why
I gave away my life
I gave away my life to let you live yours
I?ve been openin? all your windows and closing all my doors
And I?m not asking for it back
But I need a reason why
Just to keep you satisfied
I gave away my life
I gave away my life
