I Won't Say

I won't say you gave me nothing

To remember you when we part

It's true I have no ring, no goods-

But you gave me this broken heart.



I have no need of great fortunes

And no need of silver nor gold

Riches certainly do bore me-

And your love, your love grows so cold



Worldly possessions remain yours

As those you weren't willing to share

It wasn't them I wanted though-

It was you, only you, soul bare.



Well, my words are empty vessels

Yet carry too much emotion

This broken heart is proof enough

Of my one-sided devotion.
