I said the words, but I didn't understand 
I held it up, but I couldn't feel my hand 
I washed my eyes but I couldn't see the trees
I fell right down, and shattered my knees

I've given it away, without any price
No one held a hand out to me or gave advice
I've given it away, all of my life 
Nothing left to say to you, 
I've given it to everyone in my life

And now you ask, what is my desire
I want to know, who put out the fire 
I look around, am I really here
Is this the life, that I used to fear

I've given it away, without any price
No one held a hand out to me or gave advice
I've given it away, all of my life 
Nothing left to say to you, 
I've given it to everyone in my life

Run, run, shadows chasing me 
My dreams, falling away from me 
Run, run, shadows chasing me 
Nothing left inside of me

I sit inside the heart that I've made
It's pushed around where memories fade
I chip away to get to the core
I'm not ashamed that I wanted more
