Heaven forbid
I cry a single tear.
And what a sin
For me to be selfish
Just one moment
Where I'm not
Your servant.
Forgive me,
I don't love you,
I'm not your wife.
I can want
Whomever I want;
My heart is my own
To give, to take.
Yes, yes, I know
Such a horrible thing
For me to give up
Something I wanted
For the sake of a friend,
And then, for me
To refuse my help.
Your mess, not mine
You wanted it,
The relationship,
And you wanted her.
If you wanted me,
You're too late.
I can't be here for you.
Romeo, oh, Romeo
She's your Juliet.
Get used to it.
I'm not your messenger.
Pen, paper, ink,
But not the messenger.
Buy a turtle dove.
For hell's sake,
Heaven's too,
Let me be selfish.
I give and give,
For you, all of you,
Give me a little thanks,
Let me sleep tonight.
Let me rest. Please.
I've had enough,
Tried so hard for you,
Been loyal, been there,
Done the right thing,
So praise me, thank me,
And let me rest.
