didn'taskformuch

i didn't ask for much
i never have, so why can't i have everything i want?
i didn't ask for much so why after all this time can't i have love?
i never wanted money or fame or beauty
just some love and encouragement
so why can't i have everything i want?
why do i wander around wondering where the hell my life vanished to?
when? and why?
i didn't ask for much
just clothes on my back and a warm place to sleep
and i had to fight for them
so why won't you give me the world
like you promised?
i can't hold in my hand what i do not own
i cannot hold in my heart what i do not feel
and i don't feel you
i didn't ask for much
so why after everything i've done
am i still not good enough?
you asked for everyhting
i have obliged for so long
i can't give you silence anymore
i didn't ask for much
look where it has gotten me

i should've asked for more
