Set the Bar
I'm just me...
An expectation by royal decree,
Why should you ask for so much,
Knowing I could never please you as such?
Set the bar high
So I know my place
When you were wanting to die
I was left as nothing but a disgrace
Set the bar low
So I know your trust
When you were wanting to go
I was left to nothing but rust
Set the bar fair
So I know of chance
When you were wanting to be happy my dear
I was left as a puppet to dance
Set the bar high
So I know how it feels
When you were wanting to break down and cry
I was left alone as my heart reels
Set the bar low
So I know where to fall
When you were wanting answers I didnt know
I was left with nothing at all
Set the bar fair
So I know you love me
When you were wanting everything to be square
*I was left patiently waiting to see
I dont know... Im bad with ABAB and with rhymes. This is stupid...sorry
