Matt Sweeney & Bonnie Prince Billy - I Gave You lyrics

I gave you a child, and you didn't want it Thats the most that I have to give I gave you a house, and you didn't haunt it Now where am I supposed to live I gave you a tree and you did not embrace it I gave you a nightmare and you didn't chase it I'd give you a dream and you'd only wake from it Now I'll never go to sleep again I'd give you a treasure and you'd only take from it Look at the hole where j**elry had been Baby oh baby Why must you escape from it This love that we once called our friend (hoo ooo, ooo. hoo ooo ooo...) I gave you my body and you ate aplenty I gave you ten lives and you wasted twenty Now I'm standing empty, helpless and bare, without a morsel left of me to give And you, you have vanished, into the air The air in which I must live
