lyrics

Gave My Soul

I feel to take the righteous side,
I want to let you know.
I’ve been wondering why it’s all been gone.
For sure its been a long way back,
since I had to let it go.
Still asking how it could have gone so wrong.
I gave my mind
I gave my body
I gave my soul

Well it must have been so dark outside,
that we just had to let it go.
Still minding all these things we had done wrong.
I couldn't leave the another night,
cause the tears they came to call.
For sure it might have brought us way back home.
I gave my mind
I gave my body
I gave my soul

I picked it up again last night
cause it wouldn't let me go.

Still holding on to to what we might have done
Can’t recall we were so close,
to take another sight.
Still believing to what we thought was right.
I gave my mind
I gave my body
I gave my soul
