7 Pounds

At half past midnight, I was pronounced dead
my body lay in a pool of blood
And I'd explain it if I could
But all that can be said is:
I tried to love you, the best way I knew how
I tried to give you everything
You said you wanted my heart, right???
Well, here...take it, it's yours...
I broke open my chest...tore myself to shreds
to give you what you said you needed
You see baby, I told you I was prepared to bleed
I was willing to breathe for you
So take these lungs,
Squeeze the very last bits of oxygen from me
Shhh, it's ok...empty me
You said you needed me to see you
Take these eyes...
I need you to what you looked like to me
how your beauty I perceived
You needed me to stand strong for you
I'll remove these bones if that's what you want
Old love, and girls you said never appreciated you
poisoned your body with hate
Let these kidneys purify you...I'll take it all away
This is what I can give you...
I'm all yours...donations to finally make you happy
Hopefully now you know...now you can fully understand
how deeply I loved you
Let my hands drip bloody for you
The trail of my love splattered on the floor
Is this the MORE that you were looking for???
