Asking You

Maybe I’ve been asking too much… Or maybe I’m just asking you. When did wanting you beside me Start to feel like asking for the world? When did needing a little effort Make me feel like I’m too much? I don’t need you every second I don’t need you to lose yourself I just wanna know that when I need you I don’t have to need somebody else I know you care I know you do But love don’t mean You have the room And lately I keep wondering Where do I fit with you? Would you do for me What I’d do for you? Would you show up when I’m hurting? Would you let me lean on you? I don’t need everything I know you care, that much is true Maybe I’ve been asking too much… Or maybe I’m just asking you. Would you know the little things Without me having to explain? Know when I need your arms around me Know when I need a little space? If I’m sick, would you come hold me? If I’m scared, would you stay close? When I’m tired of being strong Would you let me let it go? If I stopped making excuses For the distance between us Would you finally see You make it hard to trust? I don’t want somebody perfect I just want somebody there who makes room for loving me Whose actions show they care I know you care I know you do But love don’t mean You have the room Maybe I’ve been asking too much… Or maybe I’m just asking you. Would you do for me What I’d do for you? Would you show up when I’m hurting? Would you let me lean on you? Would you notice when I’m fading Before I finally disappear? Would you fight for us If I stopped fighting here? I know you care I know that’s true I’ve been asking too much… maybe I’m just asking you. I know you care. I know you do. Maybe I’ve been asking too much… Or maybe I’m just asking you.
