What I Would Give - Intellectual

[Intro: Good Will Hunting (1997) sample, Sean]

You don't know about real loss, 'cause it only occurs when you've loved something more than you love yourself

[Verse 1]

Breathing is more like heavy wheezing

Your pain is what has left me freezing

I hoped that one day

I could take all the pain that you held deep

I would trade my life for yours

Just to hear your heart beating again and again

What I would give to see the heartache all end

What I would trade to save us from this dead end

The reaper's grip is tight, but we won't give in

[Chorus]

If I could suffer for you

I would take all the pain you'vе ever been through

Without a second thought, I'd nеver look back

I'd trade my soul for yours, immersed in the black

Hopeful I sink into overwhelming happiness

I long to see you, in another time or in another place

I'm just happy that I was blessed with your grace

[Verse 2]

For so many years I watched as you wept

Unable to help I couldn't accept

Death's breath on your neck

The weight on your chest collapsing within

To hell I'd have leapt to save you from pain

To hell I would have leapt to see you again

I would have leapt

A soulless life is bittersweet

Trade me yours and you shall reap

Reap

[Breakdown]

It's the fear that feeds us

Pushed to the precipice

Mind is the enemy

Don't you see that life is precious

Wasting away

Wasted away

You fucking sicken me

I have searched for days in the blackened haze

Innocence means nothing to the cruelness we call death

In another way, make the most or death will take you

[Refrain]

What I would I give to hear your voice again

I'd take this knife and slit my own throat

What I would give to feel your touch again

I'd take this gun, cock it back and pull

[Bridge]

Please lend me all your pain

So, I can take it to the grave

In solace I could leave

As you flourish triumphantly

Carry this torch for me

Light your way from misery
