Don'T Ask Me

I've never felt so safe as I do with you I can be myself, laugh my laugh Tell bad jokes, dress up, dress down Drink too much, laugh out loud Eat too much, cry in a crowd With you I'm free..free to be me.... Flawed, sad Hopeful, mad Rebellious, tactical Frustrated, practical Encouraging, strong Always right, seldom wrong Stubborn, mean Submissive, extreme that's me... Remember that look in your eye and lump in your throat When I walked thru the door in silence you spoke I felt so loved with just one look Our eyes would meet was all it took Batting my eyes, the sparkle in yours Love in our hearts, what's mine is yours Our bond was crazy, I trust you with my life But at times it's lazy, cuts like a knife When times are bad, rocky windfalls Stormy weather, you don't notice me at all How'd we get here, I feel like I don't matter Like our love disappeared Different directions all scattered... I'll trade you tears for fears I'm tired of crying Being close yet far apart like a thirsty flower dying I want you to be happy Even if that means we're apart Always be true to yourself And go with your heart Just don't ask me to sacrifice Or give up what I need Don't ask me to pretend Or be anyone but me
