Lyrics

I sent you flowers
When you were reeling from the pain
I sang my silly songs for you
I tried to make you smile again
I wrote you letters a thousand times I wrote
I sang my silly songs for you
And I remember every note

Now you just act like I’ve committed a crime
You just act like I’ve wasted your time
I gave you my love and I gave you my time
But I can’t give you my life

I touched your body
I tried to make you feel beautiful
‘Cause you were beautiful to me
And I wanted you to know
I walked in the rain
Through the snow and through the ice I came
To knock at your door
With my tea and roses

Now you just act like I’ve committed a crime
You just act like I’ve wasted your time
I gave you my love and I gave you my time
But I can’t give you my life

I know that it was hell for you
I know what you were going through
But I couldn’t make a difference
And I need to make a difference

I drove you cross-country
I was dying all the way
Why should I take you back
To that land of endless tragedy?
Your mind was made up
There was nothing I could say
No promises I could keep
I knew it wasn’t up to me.

Now you just act like I’ve committed a crime
You just act like I’ve wasted your time
I gave you my love and I gave you my time
But I can’t give you my life
