A Gift - Basia

Strong, that’s what they say

I’m only complacent

And I will admit to the crime

Of being too blind, feeling too certain

That you’ll always be on my side

I often forget your love is a gift

A gift, I take it for granted

I know you don’t have to be here

You don’t have to love me

Yet you do, you still do

Ah, ah, ah yes, you still do

Weak, when on my own

Confess I’m pathetic

Befriended by panic and cold

And then you arrive, my torment relenting

Again I appear to be strong

That’s what they say

I’m only complacent

And I will admit to the crime

Of being too blind, feeling too certain

That you’ll always be on my side

I often forget your love is a gift

A gift, I take it for granted

I know you don’t have to be here

You don’t have to love me

Yet you do, you still do

Ah, ah, ah yes, you still do

I often forget your love is a gift

A gift, I take it for granted

I know you don’t have to be here

You don’t have to love me

Yet you do

I often forget your love is a gift, a gift

Trusts and lets me breathe

Repairs every cut and sting

I often forget your love is a gift, a gift

A gift, your love as a gift

You don’t have to be here

You don’t have to love me

I know you don’t have to love me

And be here with me

You are a gift

I often forget your love is a gift, a gift

I take it for granted and

How can I forget your love is a gift

And you do
