In greatest efforts, in keeping you
I lost what was special about me too
It wasn't that I didn't love you
but that I loved you too much
and that caused the greatest drought within me
and soon I could not keep up
You're willing to complain,
but never willing to change
and some days when I try again
you stain my soul with the words you know
my effort feels lost in the deep sea
and you have no idea what it's like to be me
Because I longed for you
and you were never impressed
I loved you with all my heart
like none of the rest
I spoke with you hours into the night
and I held you when my own head was not even high
and now you're throwing me away
on the cold shoreline
and I have no one, no one
but me
But baby, that's all I'll ever need
