I offered and with open hands, you grasped the sacrifice
So willingly with chance I gave, I knew not of the price

The beating of a heart, my love, I gladly gave control
A forfeit of completeness, I gave to you my soul

I tasted of the passion, while dancing to your song
Resisting all the reasons of a love I knew was wrong
What power one must realize to hold a spirit's reigns
Left helplessly to journey while guided by the pain.

So here's to you .... I drink to your success
What comfort it must bring you, I stand at your behest
Another soul collected, a heart in your control
Savor now the victory, how great you played your role

Then one day with sadness, in solace as I wept
I reached for what I'd given you with hope to intercept
And just as I released to you, with patience I rescind
Seeking now the courage, to someday love again

So here's to me ... and all the hearts that know
Love must also be received, just as you let it go
As time restores the spirit, another lesson learned
A heart not only needs to love, but needs it in return
