I Gave You A Mountain
Echoes of Unfulfilled Promises: I Gave You A Mountain by Coyote Fire
Lyrics
I gave you a mountain
I provided you with a significant challenge or obstacle.
When you asked for a hill
When you only requested something minor or manageable.
But why am I
The speaker questions the reason behind their current situation.
Stuck paying your bills
Expressing frustration at being responsible for your financial burdens.
I think I'd rather go
The speaker contemplates escaping or avoiding the difficulties.
Run and hide
Desire to run away from the challenges and problems.
You're nothing but a thorn
Referring to the person as a source of pain or annoyance.
Stuck in my side
Describing the person as an ongoing irritation in their life.
I said I gave you a mountain
Reiterating the significant sacrifice made for the person.
I give you more
The speaker emphasizes providing more than necessary.
Than you'll ever need
Stating the abundance of what is offered to the person.
And all you do
Expressing the pain and suffering experienced by the speaker.
Is watch me bleed
Observing the lack of empathy or concern from the person.
I said I give you more
Repeating the assertion of providing more than required.
Than you'll ever need
Reinforcing the idea of excessive giving.
But when will you
Raising the question of when the person will understand.
Wake up and see
Encouraging the person to realize the extent of the speaker's sacrifice.
We used to work together
Recalling a time when collaboration was strong and frequent.
Every single day
Emphasizing the daily nature of their shared efforts.
And I wouldn't want it
Expressing contentment with the past working relationship.
Any other way
Reflecting on the preference for the previous way of life.
But now these days
Describing a current sense of enduring hardship.
Seem to last forever
Implying a feeling of time dragging on endlessly.
It's time to say goodbye
Declaring that it's time to part ways, better late than never.
Better late than never
Highlighting the importance of ending the relationship.
I give you more
Reiterating the theme of providing more than required.
Than you'll ever need
Reemphasizing the abundance of what is given.
And all you do
Observing the lack of empathy or concern from the person.
Is watch me bleed
Repeating the experience of pain and suffering.
I said I give you more
Reiterating the theme of providing more than required.
Than you'll ever need
Affirming the speaker's generosity in excess.
But when will you
Persistently questioning when the person will comprehend.
Wake up and see
Encouraging the person to recognize the sacrifice made.
I said I give you more
Repeating the assertion of providing more than required.
Than you'll ever need
Reinforcing the idea of excessive giving.
I said I give you more
Restating the abundance of what is offered.
Than you'll ever need
Emphasizing the theme of giving more than needed.
But when will you
Persistently questioning when the person will comprehend.
Wake up and see
Encouraging the person to realize the extent of the speaker's sacrifice.
