Gave It All For Love

Intro

Yeah... (yeah)

I gave it all... now what?

Uh...

Verse

Packed my bags, left the crib at dawn's first light,

Quit the nine-to-five, said peace to the daily grind,

Family called me crazy, friends said I'd regret,

But love had me blind, chasin' that silhouette.

Drove cross-country, burned bridges in the rearview,

Sold the whip, the chains, everything I held true,

Landed in your city, heart racin' like a sprinter,

Thought we built forever, but it was just a winter.

Nights on your couch, dreams we painted vivid,

Your laugh was my high, now it's echoes I'm livid,

Bills stackin' high, pockets echo empty,

Job hunts ghost me, resume's lookin' plenty rusty.

You said "we'll make it," but cracks started showin',

Arguments blow up, love turnin' to loathin',

One day you packed, left a note on the fridge,

"I'm out," cold as ice, now I'm stranded on this ridge.

No calls back home, they warned me 'bout the fall,

Now starin' at four walls, hearin' nothin' at all.

Chorus

Gave it all for love, now I'm broke and bleedin'

Heart in pieces, no reason, just grievin'

Left the world behind, for a flame that flickered out

Nothin' left but this pain, yeah, that's what it's about

Gave it all for love (for love), now I'm broke and bleedin'

Heart in pieces, no reason, just grievin'

Verse

Sleep on park benches, stomach growlin' loud,

Memories replay like a broken record crowd,

Your perfume lingers in the clothes I can't burn,

Twist the knife deeper every time that I learn.

Hustle for scraps, flip burgers for a dime,

Dreams of us dancin' haunt me every time,

Called your line once, voicemail full of spite,

Blocked me out clean, vanished into the night.

Wordplay on my pain: I'm the king of nothin',

Crown made of thorns, throne's a streetlight bluffin',

Friends dipped early, said I changed for the worse,

Now solo in the storm, nursin' this curse.

Regret's a heavy chain, draggin' through the mud,

Blood, sweat, tears poured, but it wasn't enough,

Love's a gamble, I bet the house and lost,

Payin' the cost, heart frostbit, double-crossed.

Yeah, uh, damn... what a fool's parade.

Chorus

Gave it all for love, now I'm broke and bleedin'

Heart in pieces, no reason, just grievin'

Left the world behind, for a flame that flickered out

Nothin' left but this pain, yeah, that's what it's about

Gave it all for love (for love), now I'm broke and bleedin'

Heart in pieces, no reason, just grievin'

Gave it all for love, now I'm broke and bleedin'

Bridge

(Why'd I...) Why'd I leave it all? (All behind)

Nothin' but echoes now, (echoes now) screamin' in my mind

Uh... yeah...

Outro

Yeah... (fadin' out)

Nothin' left... (bass hits low)

Boom... boom... (deep bass rumble)

Gone...
