lyrics

YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU’RE ASKING ME

You wanted me to bend
So I bent like a tree
To become the man that you wanted me to me
I leaned so hard
That I though I would break
I leaned so hard
And that was my mistake

You don’t know
What you’re asking of me
You don’t know
What you’re asking of me

To prove my love
You set out three tests
Three reasons for your unhappiness
And I passed them all
For you I prevailed
I passed them all
But I still failed

You don’t know
What you’re asking of me
You don’t know
What you’re asking of me
Is it harder than you thought
Being cruel and free
And you don’t know
What you’re asking of me

Now you call me up
When you’re mind’s in doubt
To weigh the cost
And to feel me out
But the answer was carved
On the stone you cast
The answer’s fading
In the past

You don’t know
What you’re asking of me
You don’t know
What you’re asking of me
Is it harder than you thought
Being cruel and free
You don’t know
What you’re asking of me
No, you don’t know
What you’re asking of me
You don’t know
What you’re asking of me
No, you don’t know what you’re asking of me
