Gospel Lyrics >> Song Title :: What I Wouldn't Give
Gospel Lyrics >> Song Artist :: Arends, Carolyn
Words and music by Carolyn Arends
Sacrifices never made, desperate prayers I left unprayed
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
Chorus
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
Repeat Chorus
My situation's tragic
My condition is so sad
What I wouldn't give you
Cost me all that I had
Repeat Chorus
