Offers

Don’t give me your words

Though I love how they sound

Don’t give me your beauty

Though it makes my heart pound

Don’t give me your time

For you’ve no time to give

Don’t give me your life

For it’s your life to live

Don’t give me your secrets

Those can be yours to keep

Don’t give your smile

Though it makes my heart leap

Don’t give me your hand

Lest I take it in mine

Don’t give me your gaze

Though your eyes, how they shine!

Don’t give me a laugh

For my world would stand still

Don’t give me your love

For it might break my will

Don’t give me your freedom

No, Don’t give me control

Only offer your music

Only give me your soul
