Didn't I make you happy,
didn't I make you smile,
didn't I show you my best?
I guess the answer to such questions
are all too plain to see,
I didn't pass your test.
So just what did you expect from me,
so much more than my all,
and things that I could never be.
These things I couldn't be,
or I'd have gladly been them,
for you and me.
Woefully, deplorably,
you came to me,
to tell me why
you couldn't be,
what you once were to me,
in the place where you once fit
so easily.
I guess that's how it goes,
I guess that's why your gone,
I guess that's why I'm all alone.
Wasn't I what you wanted,
Wasn't I what you needed,
didn't I give you more than all the rest?
You demanding my tears, my everything,
my blood, and my sweat.
Such wondrous gifts
and so much more,
but I don't have them
to give to you anymore.
These things I didn't have to give,
or I 'd have gladly given them,
to you from me.
Woefully, deplorably,
you came to me,
to tell me why
you couldn't be,
what you once were to me,
in the place where you once fit
so easily.
I guess that's how it goes,
I guess that's why your gone,
I guess that's why I'm all alone.
Didn't I make you happy,
didn't I make you smile,
didn't I do my best?
