I gave you my whole heart
Not just a part of me but
every fibre and
every atom of my whole heart
Keeping nothing for me
Oweing nothing but the debt of your love

You wanted transferrable dollars, I gave
All I had until I was drained, and then you
Told me that I’d have to go

But I would drive the longest oceans
I would swim the deepest skies
I would fly the bluest highways
To get to where you are
Just to get to where you are

With my whole heart
I kept it pure for you without any strings attached,
No complications

To my whole heart
Freely offered without terms and conditions,
Without any restrictions
You wanted compatible body parts, and
I happened to have some that fitted, but when
They failed you you said I should go

But I would drive the longest oceans

You took my whole heart
Leaving nothing but a hole in my body,
A hole in my life
Without my whole heart
Strapped into life support and waiting for surgery
Waiting for nothing

You wanted babies and houses, so I
Delivered on every front, until you
Decided I had to go

But I would drive the longest oceans
