All I Have To Give

Sitting here in a hotel room
Waking up in the afternoon
It’s November 22nd or so I’ve heard
We just talked 12 hours ago
But now I’m half way through in New Mexico
Selling our story for a dime
These words are all I have to give you
Tell me and I’ll be just what you want
This is not a choice that I’m making
My life is all I have to give up
I recall our last conversation
Late last night in College Station
Now Texas seems like a promise I can’t keep
I told you I’d be home by Thanksgiving
But if I can’t tell you what I’m feeling
When I show up it’s not really me
These words are all I have to give you
Baby, I am wrong for what I've done
My heart once was yours for the taking
My life is all I have to give up
My love is all I have to give up
I recall like yesterday, the zydeco and the trumpets played
As we danced all night long in New Orleans
As I pulled you close to me
You said don’t let go but now I see
That there’s nothing left for us to go back to
Theses lies are all I have to give up
My love is all I have to give up
So as I say my last goodbye in a letter that is hard to write
I think of all the things I never said
Like I’m sorry for all of the lies
and never seeing all the times
You kept me holding on to what we had
This life is all I have to give you
Tell me and I’ll be just what you want
This is not a choice that I’m making
These words are all I have to give up
My love is all I have to give up
