A Gift for You
Open your hands
I have a gift for you
I know you'll like it
The sad thing is it's worn
Open your hands
I'm giving you my heart
Somehow still beating
Amazingly still alive
It's been battered
It's been bruisedÂ
Kicked against a wall
Over and over again
It has been stabbed
It has been burned
Yet I've always fixed it
I always found enough tape
I always had enough glue
Now my heart is yours
I'm too weak to keep it
Not strong enough to hold it
But you are
I trust no one else with it
I don't want anyone else to have it
Take care of it forever
Don't drop it
The moment that you do
Is the moment my life is over
I have a gift for you
I know you'll like it
The sad thing is it's worn
Open your hands
I'm giving you my heart
Somehow still beating
Amazingly still alive
It's been battered
It's been bruisedÂ
Kicked against a wall
Over and over again
It has been stabbed
It has been burned
Yet I've always fixed it
I always found enough tape
I always had enough glue
Now my heart is yours
I'm too weak to keep it
Not strong enough to hold it
But you are
I trust no one else with it
I don't want anyone else to have it
Take care of it forever
Don't drop it
The moment that you do
Is the moment my life is over
