Gave All You Gave

I said something

I now regret

and I wonder

how much time flying

it will take

until they forget.

I didn't mean to

take the words

that far

I didn't want to

redefine

who and what we are.

Can't say it's a lack of trying...

Can't say it's a lack of crying...

But sometimes when something's dying...

You need to admit you gave it all you gave.

I guess I had

a dream

and didn't think much

about its keeping.

I guess I had

a scheme

and didn't care much

about the weeping.

Somehow I got lost

and didn't understand

where I was

or where I was going.

And still I'm not found

but at least

I'm better off

now knowing.

Never was from a lack of trying...

Never was from a lack of crying...

But sometimes when somthing's dying...

best to send it to its grave.

Knowing you gave all you gave.
