Everything I Own
by Bread

You sheltered me from harm.
Kept me warm, kept me warm
You gave my life to me
[if you've seen all of eva already, in some way, it was shown that it was yui who actually gave purpose to gendo's life. after all, looks like his life before meeting her wasn't really that good since he seemed like a bum who had his own ambition...]
Set me free, Set me free
The finest years I ever knew
were all the years I had with you
[when he ended up with yui, things definately were better for him obviously :). he had a wife, a son and a pretty good job too]

I would give anything I own,
Give up me life, my heart, my home.
[gendo did give up everything. he gave up his ability to feel, to love and to be with others...it's as if he gave up his life]
I would give everything I own,
just to have you back again.
[he would do anything just to be with yui again...and that includes everything]

You taught me how to love,
[yui did make gendo feel how it is like to be loved. he found love when he found her]
What its of, what its of.
You never said too much,
but still you showed the way,
and I knew from watching you.
Nobody else could ever know
the part of me that can't let go.
[when yui died, he really couldn't let go of the fact that she's gone...that's she's not with him again. and because of that, he still continues in his pursuit to be with the woman he loves]

I would give anything I own,
Give up me life, my heart, my home.
I would give everything I own
Just to have you back again.

Is there someone you know,
you're loving them so,
but taking them all for granted.
You may lose them one day,
someone takes them away,
and they don't hear the words you long to say
[i just wish gendo did make yui feel and hear all the things he longed to say...especially since she died so sudden]

I would give anything I own,
Give up me life, my heart, my home.
I would give everything I own
Just to have you back again.
