i'd give it all up
every piece of china
the silver, the linens
the kitchen appliances
the towels, the candlesticks
all of it
every single stupid
gift we received
to mark the day
we became one

i'd give it all up
the fancy house
the expensive cars
the grill we had to have
in order to keep up
with those stupid
jones's

i'd give it all up
to have it like it
used to be
before you and me
became 'us'
all i ever wanted
needed
craved
was you

just you
