I Never ******* Asked You

I never asked you to say you loved me

I never asked for you to tell me

That I'm the one who makes it all better

When you are the one who makes me bitter

 

I'm so amazing and you mean it

I'm so delightful and you see it

 

But the one you see

Isn't really me you like

 

I never asked you to say I'm lovely

I never asked for you to be there

Yet I'm the one who'll make it all better

When you're the one who'll make me so bitter

 

I'm the perfect one you don't see

I'm the right one you cannot find

 

And you never see

What you've done to me, and us

 

You've never heard me say I loved you

And though it breaks me every day

You are the one who makes my life better

And I will risk my heart to be bitter

 

 

I'll never know if you mean what you say

And I don't know if I want to
