I gave you my all
but it's never enough.
I told you it all
but it's not what you want.
I opened my heart
let you tour inside,
to see how you liked it,
a safe place to hide...
But it wasn't enough
you just wanted too much.

I wanted it all
and I wanted it then.
I couldn't say no
turned my back on some friends.
And you made me regret
all those nights on the phone,
all the texts and IMs,
every poem and song.
I gave you it all
but you still wanted more.
I made dreams come alive,
but you only wanted to dream more.

I went out of my way
hoping it would make a difference.
I went beyond comfort zones
but you only turned inwards.
I begged and pleaded
to let me help with your pain,
but you ignored all my pleas
while you drank it away.

You stopped calling each night.
You stopped wanting to chill.
You made excuses for yourself,
your habits, lack of will.
You stopped smiling and laughing,
instead you looked for misery.
And when I finally gave up
you blamed everything on me.

But I gave it my all.
All I had left to give...
can't you see that I'm broken?
I begged you to forgive...
my pain and tresspasses,
they're countless for sure.
But without pure perfection
you wanted me, no more.
