All that I want
Is to know undoubtedly
That you just have eyes for me
Could you make it clear
All that I want
Is to sit here silently
And watch movies on TV
What a shame you're not here
Here to witness my devotion
And my endless well of needs
I'm an anchor in the ocean
You know I could never leave
So I'm patient
You're learning
Pretend it's not hurting
Ohh
They say it's a virtue
To not let good love slip away
So I'm cool and forgiving
I'll take what you're giving
Ohh
But nothing's quite enough
When I know that to get it I begged
Yeah to get it I begged
And I have this thought
When I lay in bed at night
That I feel trapped inside my life
Is that a normal thing
To fight back the waves
Of a static lovers' dread
I'm overwhelmed, I'm underfed
And yet I still cling
Cling to hope like snow on mountains
Careless words melt it away
I'm a penny in a fountain
Just waiting on my luck to change
So I'm patient
You're learning
Pretend it's not hurting
Ohh
'Cause they say it's a virtue
To not let good love slip away
So I'm cool and forgiving
I'll take what you're giving
Ohh
But nothing's quite enough
When I know that to get it I begged
Yeah to get it I begged
