'Til You Give It Away
I was sweeping around in the kitchen one morningGot back behind the old cabinet doorBroken blue fragments of some ancient battleCame rattling across the old floorIt brought back the night when we stood in that kitchenMe in my armor and you in your rageHow you shattered that bowl in frustration and angerI still remember your words to this dayHiding your heart is a fool's game to playSo is gathering love just to lock it awayWhat you have in your heart wasn't put there to stayIt's not love til you give it awaySo I dug through the drawer just to find your new addressA faded old letter fell into my handsWritten when we were still living togetherI sat down to read it againYou said it was time we were making some changesThat I was too distant and closed off and tightAnd how living with me was like living aloneAnd now looking back on it I know you were rightHiding your heart is a fool's game to playLetras de cancionesSo is gathering love just to lock it awayWhat you have in your heart wasn't put there to stayIt's not love til you give it awayLoving was something I never quite trustedI learned at an early ageEvery time that I started to give myself overThat's when it was taken awaySo here I am holding the broom in the kitchenSurveying the damage and facing the dayAnd I'll always reflect on the love I've resistedBut I'll never regret what I've learned on the wayHiding your heart is a fool's game to playSo is gathering love just to lock it awayWhat you have in your heart wasn't put there to stayIt's not love til you give it away From Letras Mania
