Lyrics Steve Hackett

Steve Hackett

Give It Away

A broken heart's not easy to mend

Why must you break it again

When you lose your prize possession

Look around you're no exception

Give it away

Your mind is all made up

When you lose your first love

You'll never feel that way

No-one can take her place

When you lose your self-expression

It's just time to change direction

Give it away

When you start you're lovers and friends

But when you part you're strangers again

Now the time just passes slowly

Time to live for yourself only

Give it away

You watch the years go by

And she's no longer there

Then one day you will find

That you no longer care

When you lose your prize possession

Look around you're no exception

Give it away

When you lose your self-expression

It's just time to change direction

There's no need for more protection

Give it away
