The book is open on my bed
but I can’t read another page
I’ve read the story a thousand times
I’m not ready for the ending to change
I’ve got your letter on my desk
the one you wrote before you left
and now I’m thinking quietly
of what I wanted us to be
how you came into my life
and I fed you selfish lies
I never meant to do anything
to harm you despite the way things seem
to stack against me know
with my back against the bough
I’ll draw you pictures of my dreams
if you’ll tell me what they mean
my words have been my enemies
never matching their meanings
All I ever meant to say
was that things will be okay
for both you and for me
If you’re happy, that’s all I need
It’s why I lay awake at night
to try and figure out my life
If I can’t be your everything
I’ll try to give you more than you need
