Here's a tear, for a souvenir

And a dream, that's torn at the seams

Here's a promise you made to me

Of the tomorrow i'll never see

And then you're free to go



But i can't give back the love

I feel for you

I'm gonna be stuck with it

No matter what i do



Take these arms that held you close

I thought i was the one you needed the most

Take these hands, they're no good to me

That used to touch you so tenderly



But i can't give back the love

That's a part of me

If you want just a little bit

You have to take all of me



Here's a ring

That didn't mean a thing

And the letters you wrote

That gave my young heart hope

Take the pillow where my dreams were made

And the mind, where the thought of you stayed

But baby, you should know



That i can't give back the love

I feel for you

I'm gonna be stuck with it

No matter what i do



Take these eyes that once could see

Now reflections of a misery

The hapiness i thought would last

Now a becoming just a thing of the past



But i can't give back the love

That's a part of me

If you want just a little bit

You have to take all of me



No, i can't give back

No, i feel for you

Oh, i'm gonna be stuck

No matter what i do

'cause it'll grow 'till the world

Don't go 'round no more



But i can't give back the love

I feel for you

I'm gonna be stuck with it

No matter what i do



But i can't give back the love

I feel for you

I'm gonna be stuck with it

No matter what i do



But i can't give back the love

I feel for you

I'm gonna be stuck with it

No matter what i do
