I never asked for you to slay me a dragon
but one time, for you to kill a wee mouse
I never asked for you to provide me a castle
but just a comfortable, average house
I never once asked to be your entire world
but to at least acknowledge me when I was there
I never asked that you forget those around you
but to just show me if you really did care
I would never ask for diamonds or furs
but little tokens of love would have been okay
I never expected you to be Prince Charming
but a little tenderness would have gone a long way
I never asked for you to lasso me the moon
for it's doing just fine where it is in the sky
I never asked for you to climb any mountains
but to just hold me when I was sad and I cried
I never asked for you to write sonnets or ballads
I wouldn't ask of you, what you couldn't do
No, I would never have asked you for much at all
but to hear those three words, "I love you"
Just maybe, I should have set my sights higher
expected more from you, right from the start
then maybe now I wouldn't feel so hurt and alone
trying to mend this crushed and broken down heart
As they say, 'the past is the past', it's done
let it go, and try your best to move on
believe me, I'm trying but it has a way of haunting
I want nothing more than to sing a new song
