I'd Give It All Lyrics

You were someone that everyone looked up to
You were always the one at the front of the pack
Someone who deserved the world's respect
What I wouldn't give to have you back
It seemed, back then, you had all you should have wanted
Gifts that only come the best of people's ways
But these things came to you, perhaps a bit too easy
You made it such a simple thing to throw them all away

I try to tell myself these things
But the man you've become won't listen
If I could reach the man I was, he'd know just what to do
Dear Lord please help me find him I can't see through all this pain
You know I'd give it all If I could be that man again
Why couldn't you just be happy with a wife
And boy who loved you ?
Did you really think you'd find love like theirs again
You can't tell me that you're happy
I know just how we've learned to act
So if you can hear me come with me. Let's take our family back
I try to tell myself these things
But the man you've become won't listen
If I could reach the man I was I'm sure he'd know just what to do
Dear Lord please help me find him I can't see through all this pain
You know I'd give it all if I could be that man again.
