Nothing I Won't Give

  • Haunted by the past
    A nightmare that seemed so unreal
    I wish that I could turn back time
    And spare the pain that we both feel
    And now we've changed
    Things will never be the same
    (Things will never be the same)

    We were foolish then
    But our trials served to make us strong
    The burdens are not yours alone
    We've sought the answers for so long
    But they're not free
    They cost you more than they cost me
    (My brother…)

    I promise you, there is nothing I won't give
    To see this through
    Return the soul to where it lives
    I promise you, I'd go everywhere I've been
    To find a way to make atonement for my sin and see
    See your smiling face again

    When we've paid the price at last
    And we are whole once more
    Life will be the way it was
    The way it was before the day
    She slipped away
    Together we'll redeem that day

    And I promise you, there is nothing I won't give
    To see this through
    Return the soul to where it lives
    I promise you, I'd go everywhere I've been
    To find a way to make atonement for my sin and see
    See your smiling face…

    (I promise…)[3 x]

    I promise you, there is nothing I won't give
    To see this through
    Return the soul to where it lives
    I promise you, I'd go everywhere I've been
    To find a way to make atonement for my sin and see
    See your smiling face again Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
