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
