Carolyn Arends What I Wouldn`t Give Lyrics

What I Wouldn`t Give Lyrics

Sacrifices never made, desperate prayers I left un-prayed

Forgiveness not asked for love not confessed

Compromises all refused, coat of armor not removed

Everything guarded till nothing was left

But the image of a face I can't forget

The bitter, lasting taste of my regret



What I wouldn't give to be younger and wiser?

What I wouldn't give to be Yours once more?

What I wouldn't give to be less of a miser?

And give You what I wouldn't give before



All the lines I wouldn't cross, battles won while love was lost

I built my fortress on blood, sweat and fears

Terrified you'd run away, I made sure you couldn't stay

I packed all your bags, I cried all your tears

I locked the door behind You and I knew

I'd give anything to be with You



What I wouldn't give to be younger and wiser?

What I wouldn't give to be Yours once more?

What I wouldn't give to be less of a miser?

And give You what I wouldn't give before



My situation's tragic

My condition is so sad

What I wouldn't give You

Cost me all that I had?



What I wouldn't give to be younger and wiser?

What I wouldn't give to be Yours once more?

What I wouldn't give to be less of a miser?

And give You what I wouldn't give before
