I Gave My Part

I give you my all
But it seems my all isn't enough
It doesn't quite satisfy your needs
Your wants! Your desires!
Tell me exactly what it is you need
I poor myself out to you 
Like the water running down a waterfall
But you being selfish and unconcerned
You don't take the time to notice this beautiful scene
Which is me!
Do for me as I do for you
Hopefully we'll continue to progress in the name of love
I can't give my all to you anymore
I barely have enough for myself
I can't give to you when there's nothing there
