If I Gave You My Heart Lyrics - Ocean Colour Scene

If I gave you my heart, where would you be? 

Would it mean nothing if not for me? 

If I gave you my eyes, what would they see? 

Would they see nothing if not for me? 

But I gave you my hand and my sign and my soul on the earth 

And I gave up on truth when I heard about the worst 

I lived out of love when I gave it away 

And I sold off my soul when there's no one to pay 

If I gave you my hand, what would it write? 

Would it say nothing or say it's alright? 

If I gave you my arms, would they hold you tight 

First light of morning or bid you goodnight? 

And I gave you my strength and my worth and I gave you my gift 

And I moved on the first and I left us to drift 

And I reap from the soil and I build hopes from wood 

It's a new better life and we have two and should 

And I gave you my dream of the world and we stood on the quay 

And we sang to the wind in the whole darkening sea 

And I feel my weight and I guard my soul 

And I found my beliefs when I found my control 

I gave you my hand and my soul on the earth 

And I gave up on the truth when I heard about the worst 

So I lived out of love when I gave it away 

And I sold off my soul when there's no one to pay
