All she asked for
Was a smile
All she asked for
Was a sliver of hopeThat there was someone out there
Who would hold her
Who make her feel lovedAll she asked for
Was for one of the stars in the sky
To be hers
All she asked for
Was for someone to cry around
And not feel guiltyBut instead
All she received
Was an apology
That wasn't realAnd the realization
That her life
Was never good enough for anyone
But herself
