The Gift Songtext
von Gary Numan

Do you like the gift I made for you?
Just one little thing left to remember
It′s made to take your breath away

Do you feel its beauty within you?
Just one little thing to be aware of
It wants to take your breath away

Do you see the answer is simple?
Elegance in search of the helpless
It waits to take their breath away

Do you scream, "This is so unfair"?
Maybe I should stop to remind you
This is why I take your breath away

When the dark is closing around you
Spare a thought for what you've led me to
You would take, take my breath away


When the last cry escapes from you
You will know exactly how I feel
When your love takes your breath away

Everything I wanted is dying with you
Everything I needed is like a shadow on the faithful
Everything I promised is ending with you
Everything forgiven is a betrayal of the merciful

At the end when your God forgets you
Does a moment of truth touch the heartless?
Does it take, take your breath away?

At the end, look at my choices
This is all I can do now to stop you
I must take, take your breath away

Everything I wanted is dying with you
Everything I needed is like a shadow on the faithful
Everything I promised is ending with you
Everything forgiven is a betrayal of the merciful


Everything I wanted is dying with you
Everything I needed is like a shadow on the faithful
Everything I promised is ending with you
Everything forgiven is a betrayal of the merciful
