Give and Take

Take away this heartache,
take away this fear.
Take away those silent songs
that I can't help but hear.

Take away your smile,
take away the past.
Take away this emptiness
that's threatening to last.

Give to me some freedom,
give to me some sun.
Give to me the peace of knowing
you just weren't the one.

Give me some acceptance,
some worthy self-esteem.
Let me think that you weren't real,
that this was all a dream.

Take away this sorrow,
take from me this hate.
Give me back the hope I had
that it is not too late.

Take away this topic
from my notebook and my heart.
Give me just one single day
you don't tear me apart.
