All That I've Given Away

Written by gary barlow



The telephone it never rings when you wanted to ring

When it rings it's never the voice you needed to hear

It's funny how the radio sings the words you meant to say

When you need a smile, you only find a tear

I'm in deep regret i'm trying to forget

But hope you'll never sleep when we're apart

All that i've given, given away,

Is all that i need here tonight

All that i try to, try to forget

It's the more this empty heart seems to fight

It fights for all that i've given away

The day it never goes too fast when you needed it to pass

Every corner of the night loneliness sleeps

And though i'll never hear the answers

To the questions that i've had asked

I often wonder what our future could have been

(what our future could have been)

This deep regret makes it harder to accept

With love i payed the price from the heart

All that i've given, given away,

Is all that i need here tonight

All that i try to, try to forget,

Is the more this empty heart seems to fight

It fights for all that i've given away

When i know the lord of changes slowly turn you upside down

And the pieces of your life fall all around,

And the times it's hard to recognise the place you've always lived

Where's the sun, where's the sky, what is love,

What is life, you are mine (oh-oh)

You were mine

And i'm feeling now
