The Gift (Acoustic Version) Video (MV)

When I first saw you I began to change
Wondering your name
And what you do
You fell into the pool floating to my arms
Underneath the stars
And then I knew

That's when we began
Our true love

Sometimes people don't realize what they have
Until they lose it and abuse it
Appreciate what you have because you'll never know
If you'll lose it, don't abuse it
Never take your eyes off the gift
Hold it close, never let go

Her smile lit up my world
Drew the laughter out
Even when I was down
In the dark
No matter what the obstacle
She was always there
Right by my side
She believed in me

I wish I could have seen
What she saw

Strayed from the path
Took my anger out
Yelling at her, all the time
Things began to fade
I made her cry, countless times
I threw her away

I wish I could have saved
My true love

Sometimes people don't realize what they have
Until they lose it and abuse it
Appreciate what you have because you'll never know
If you'll lose it, don't abuse it
Never take your eyes off the gift
Hold it close, never let go

I am so sorry
For what I did
You didn't deserve it
I wish I could fix it
Prevent the attacks
Have you right by me
Hold you close to me, again
