Selfish karma
If I gave my life to give you breath would you use this breath to call to me? Let me dream that I'm not alone Because you're still here standing right next to me.
If I gave my life to feel your touch Would you use this touch to calm my fear? Let me dream that I'm a better person The type of person you might hold dear.
If I gave my life to give you laughter Would you use this laughter to erase the pain? Let me dream that I'm not UN-wanted and lonely And that love is a prize I have yet to obtain.
If I gave my life to give you dreams Would you use these dreams to dream of me? Let me dream that life's questions were simple to answer So I wouldn't become a slave to the words that you speak.
If I gave my life to give you hope Would you use this hope to believe I'd change? Let me dream that I have no flaws or scars To mark my soul with restricting chains.
If I gave my life to give you sight Would you use this sight to look inside yourself? Let me dream that I overlooked your coldness And into your heart where warmth might dwell.
If I gave my life to give you life Would you use this life as a weapon of hate? Let me dream you asked all these things from me But as you've done before, I just turned away.
I wouldn't give my life to give you nothing And with this nothing become nothing at all, I no longer dream of you because it's not really important Because you're vindictive abuse left no net for the fall.
