If It Ever Was

nothing more to say
nothing more to do
nothing more to keep me
from getting to you
nothing more to fake
no one left to blame
nothing left for you to say
to make me make me make me
stay when you need me to
leave when you want me to
speak only when you're not listening
breath only when you do
die when i'm not with you
is that how you picture us living?
that's not love
just your way of telling me my love is not enough
i wonder if it ever was
someone's got to say
what is it you need?
what do you expect from yourself
and then take from me?
i'm not one to blame
but something has to change
i've given all of my love to you...
and there's none left for me
and yet you still ask me to...
stay when you need me to
leave when you want me to
speak only when you're not listening
breath only when you do
die when i'm not with you
is that how you picture us living?
that's not love
just your way of telling me my love is not enough
i wonder if it ever was
i wonder how wonder why wonder when we got here
i wonder how wonder why wonder when we got HERE.....
with all the things you want
with all the things you need
have you ever stopped to think
what you're asking, asking of me
with everything i am
with everything i could be
i gave it all so you
so you could have me have me... to
stay when you need me to
leave when you want me to
speak only when you're not listening
breath only when you do
die when i'm not with you
is that how you picture us living?
don't tell me to...
stay when you need me to
leave when you want me to
speak only when you're not listening
breath only when you do
die when i'm not with you
cause that is not what i call living
that's not love
just your way of telling me my love is not enough
i wonder if it ever was
