you give it away

you give it away

A Poem by Michael

Hello
Take a look through these eyes
You might be surprised
What exactly it is you see
And how we move
Over and over just to feel
Finding out what makes us real
Don�t take their word for it
In time
We�ll all become blurry eyed


I don�t blame you this time
I still believe (I still believe)
That anything can come from this love
When a moment brings hope for everything
Every time I walk away from this
Will the one who came to throw it all away
Ever get to see the end of this?

When you laugh you give it away (You give it away)
Slow as quicksand
And when you cry you hide it away (You hide it away)
No one understands
You say you�re never afraid (You�re always afraid)
Just push me off the deep end


There�s forces under the floor
To pull us down into a hole
Long after I�ve gone away
Were coming back for something more
Back for something more
With nothing else to prove
Give me one reason why
I should let this die



Cause when you laugh you give it away (You give it away)
Slow as quicksand
And when you cry you hide it away (You hide it away)
No one understands
You say you�re never afraid (You�re always afraid)
Just push me off the deep end


I don�t believe in make believe
The attic is still full
Of all of the same things
That lay here when I was
Wide-eyed for playthings
Put these memories up to sell
Behind the tears you kept for years
Is a longing that i know too well
If I could pause, contemplate my thoughts
It could take a piece out of this hell


When your hope crawls undernearth
What you�re dreaming for me
You�re as blind as I can see
When you hear it coming

This darkness who controls the sadness
Will sure to fade
The one who came to save us all
Will get to see the day
Will get to see the day
When you gave it away

Your eyes tell everything
That your mouth keeps shut
You know you give it away
You know you give it away
You know you give it away
ohhhhhhhh

Just this once why dont you stay
We can pretend and make life all one day
Take my hand
It will be okay
It will be okay


Because when you laugh you give it away (You give it away)
Slow as quicksand
And when you cry you hide it away (You hide it away)
No one understands
You say you�re never afraid (You�re always afraid)
Just push me off the deep end

ohhhhhhhhhhhhh..
Yeah..

I still believe (I still believe)
I still believe (We still believe)
That anything can come from this love (Anything and everything)
We can believe (We can believe)
Anything and everything can come from this love
Yeaaah
With one push we can split the world in two
And become the love that welcomes you

You know you give it away
You know you give it away
You give it away
And I love you for it (You love me)
Forever

"Because when you laugh you give it away (You give it away)
Slow as quicksand
And when you cry you hide it away (You hide it away)
No one understands
You say you're never afraid (You're always afraid)
Just push me off the deep end" I love these lines!!!

It's hard when two people love eachother but they can't in the same way....

This is a great piece! I love it... Great Job!
