Ask
I ask you for nothing but still you give more
More than I ask for and for that I adore
The way that your lips move and I smile in awe
The way that your hands move and discover my flaws
I ask you for nothing and you still hold me high
High of opinion, these feelings won't lie
Not like he did when he left me behind
Nor are they fake like those who play kind
I ask you for nothing but still feel confused
Why do you stay where there's nothing to use?
No wants or demands, no favours or plea
Just a confused little girl so similar to me
So maybe I ask this one little thing
Why do you stay? When there's no prize to win
Just a heart and a mind that warms to you
And hopes for dreams that one day may come true
