Here's a tear for a souvenir
And a dream torn at the seams
Here's a promise that you made to me
Of the tomorrow that I'll never see
And then you're free to go

[Chorus]
But I can't give back the love, I feel for you
Gonna be stuck with it, no matter what I do

[Verse 2]
Take these eyes that once could see
Are now reflections of a misery
The happiness that I thought would last
Has now a becoming just a thing of the past

[Chorus]
But I can't give back the love, that's a part of me
But if you want just a little bit, you have to take all of me
'Cause it will grow 'til the world don't go 'round no more

[Verse 3]
Here's the ring that didn't mean a thing
And letters you wrote that gave my heart hope
Take the pillow where my dreams were made
And the mind, where the thought of you stayed
But baby, you should know
[Chorus]
That I can't give back the love I feel for you
Gonna be stuck, gonna be stuck, no matter what I do

[Verse 4]
Take these arms that held you close
I thought I was the one you needed the most
Take these hands, they're no good to me
That used to touch you so tenderly

[Chorus]
But I can't give back the love, that's a part of me
But if you want just a little bit, you have to take all of me
No I can't, no I can't
No I can't give back the love
No I can't, no I can't
No I can't give back the love
You know I can't, you know I can't
You know I can't give back the love
You know I can't, you know I can't
You know I can't give back the love
You know I can't, you know I can't
You know I can't give back the love
