I've given you away.
I'll be just fine.
You weren't mine
at the time anyway.

I've taken you back.
Shown you the door.
Over and over again.
I've done this before.

Taken your promises.
I've given you more.
We're out of balance.
Let me even the score.

I've given you rhymes,
rainbows, fresh limes,
romantic lines
and feel-good times

with life on the edge...
time off the ledge...
time to reflect...
and time! time! time!

I've given you away.
I'll be just fine.
I've given you...
wish you were mine.

I've given my heart
every day to you
over and over.
What am I to do?

In asking you to return
this heart of mine
I'm an Indian giver
just this once this time.
