Waste Not, Want Not

I wanna be the song you sing
whenever you wake.
I wanna be the reality
within the smile you fake.
I wanna be the reason
for every breath that you take.
I wanna be the crime
behind the rules that you break.
I wanna be your rock
when your heart aches.

It seems I'm too selfish
for wanting this cake.
I'm sorry for loving you
my worst mistake.
