Gimme A Reason Poem by Dan Uher

I've given all I can
I've given up everything for a chance
I've given up everything to be your man
I've given up everything just for romance
Never asked for too much
Never asked you to do such
Never forced you to do anything
Never had to do everything
For me

I've given my life up
Given time
Given money
Given up my mind
Even called you honey
You threw that away
Now you want it back
Want me to stay
Without any delay
I am a privelege
Not a right
You make me deep into suffrage
And it's hard to fight

Gimme a reason to continue
Gimme a reason to stay with you (chorus)
Gimme a reason to believe
That the worst has already been seen

One reason is all I need
One reason is what will fullfill
My feeling that really kills
You've given me pain and pleasure
But what do I have to measure
Your sorrowful ways
I can count the days
That you've made me struggle
Even when I undid my belt buckle
It was always there
Always breathing my own air
(chorus)

Give me a reason
Give me a reason
Give me a reason to believe
that we can succeed
Through all thest troubles
All of these bubbles
That cannot be popped
Unless something sharp
Pokes right through
Just like will have to be
If theres a me and you
(repeat once) (1st verse) (chorus)
