I never asked for this,
You know that all I ever wanted
Was a reason to exist
I needed something to grow,
I would have watered you more
If you had only let me know...
That your roots
Had dried up
And the search for water
Had become a search for a love
Without bind
'cause the confines of this container
Have been limiting your life
There is something you should know
I would have given you more room to grow
I could have changed,
Replaced and rearranged my life
If you had only let me know
If I could count
The times that I've
Been riddled with self-doubt,
Then I'd find
At least 100 percent of the time
You were never mine.
I just wish there was a way that I could know,
If you've been sleeping alone.
