Lyrics

'The Love You Gave Away' Ch: The love you gave away, did not go astray. I’ve collected it in my heart and set it in the stars, Yeah we make mistakes and our love is wasted. Now here we are at last, you were always mine from the start. V1 He dropped her in his lust for someone else My good fortune was his worst mistake. Why he couldn’t say ‘I love you’—I can’t say. He was climbing up a ladder to the stars Ch: The love you gave away, did not go astray. I’ve collected it in my heart and set it in the stars, Yeah we make mistakes and our love is wasted. Now here we are at last, you were always mine from the start. Br: That vacation when we didn’t have a dime. Sticks in my mind as the best of times. We’d lie in bed and listen to the rain outside Or I’d tickle you, just to see you smile. V2: We’d stay up all night talking fast changing minds. Photo booth smiles and bleary eyes. Running for a cab in the morning’s light. After hanging with drink-monkeys into the night. Ch(x2):The love you gave away, did not go astray. I’ve collected it in my heart and set it in the stars, Yeah we make mistakes and our love is wasted. Now here we are at last, you were always mine from the start. V3: Her winter mini-skirt and sunglasses at night Breakfast birthday cake, blue drinks, pencaps I never say I love you quite enough. My rise and fall repeats still you lift me up. It’s a brand new day, dance me away. All music & lyrics by John Connor (messyheads)
