Like I even want them.
I never asked you for the stars;
Or Saturn's rings, the Sun or Mars.
And never, ever will I request,
For a man to bleed me dry his heart.

I don't even want you to play the part;
Do not pretend you like the dark.
When you understand, you give your best,
And that's how I know you've come so far.

I'm waiting for you to mend your heart;
In tandem we both tore it apart.
I apologize; now here's the thread;
'Cause I also can't give you the stars.
