“All I Ever Asked”

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I thought I found the one, yeah, the one I’d been praying for You had that smile, those words, made me feel like I needed more I gave you all my time, my love, didn’t hold nothin’ back But I was loving a shadow, caught in your clever act [Pre-Chorus] I did the most, played my part, gave you all of me Never once did I complain, even when it cut me deep But every little thing I needed, you just brushed aside Now I see the truth was buried underneath your lies [Chorus] All I ever asked was for you to show up To come through when it mattered, not just when it felt like love I did everything you needed without second guessing why But when I needed you, you always had an alibi Said you’d be there, said you care, but now I see the signs The man I thought I knew was just another lie [Verse 2] You said forever, made me believe But now forever feels like it’s laughing at me I waited by the phone, I hoped you’d make it right But I was loving alone every single night [Bridge] I wasn’t asking for the moon, just your time, just your truth But you were never really mine, just a ghost in your own shoes You said “I love you,” but only when it served your need Now I’m picking up the pieces of what you made me believe [Chorus] All I ever asked was for you to show up To come through when it mattered, not just when it felt like love I did everything you needed without second guessing why But when I needed you, you always had an alibi Said you’d be there, said you care, but now I see the signs The man I thought I knew was just another lie [Outro] Now I’m done waiting, no more crying through the night I gave you loyalty, you gave me disguise You lost a real one, now I’m taking back my life ’Cause loving you was built on nothing but lies
