lyrics

I was lost inside
Deaf, dumb and blind
When I gave it all away

I was out of line
And so full of pride
When I gave it all away

I was so confused
Wrecked from abuse
When I gave it all away

I could not refuse
I had nothing left to lose
So I gave it all away

I felt the pressure everyday
I tried to take on all the blame
Now I never need to explain
I just call out on your name

I tried to take on all the blame
I felt the pressure everyday
Now I never need to explain
I just call out on your name

And the clouds did part
And love filled my heart
When I gave it all away

And the sun did shine
When I made up my mind
And gave it all away
Yes I gave it all away
Yes I gave it all away
