if i gave it all up tonight

by kelli bircket (Aries) - Not entered

i didn't know that to you i'd be such a letdown.
why didn't you just let me know
what you wanted from me from the start?

the way you acted the first night that we were together,
i thought you were so different,
but how did i know that i could be so wrong?

look into my eyes and see all the emptiness
you've caused inside.
hits me with no surprise the words you say.
i guess i'm on my way.

but i wish i could go back in time tonight
to see what went wrong.
'cause you're still on my mind.

and if i gave it all up tonight.
no more lies and nothin' to hide.
would you still be there by my side?
if i gave it all up tonight.

well, i guess there was something
you know about me from the beginning.
why did you let me go on
hiding the secrets you already knew?
if i thought to change my ways just to be with you
does it always mean i might get one more try?
just when i thought i knew you oh so well
i never knew why that in such a short time
you thought i had changed.
now you say it's time for me to let you go.
you say we'll only be friends.
but for me i want more.
oh, give me one more night.
somehow, some way you will soon be forgotten.
but still i'm here with only my shadow by my side.

maybe someday you'll know just what you meant to me.
even though we're so far apart,
thoughts of you won't go away.

and if i gave it all up tonight
no more lies and nothin' to hide.
would you still be there by my side?
if i gave it all up tonight.
if i gave it all up for you, tonight.
