| You never asked me to be king
|
| Build my tower up to the sky
|
| So why do I try
|
| You never asked me to be rich
|
| Buy the things that gold can buy
|
| So why do I try
|
| All You ever wanted was my heart
|
| My heart, my simple heart
|
| To You that’s all that really matters
|
| Why do I feel I have to reach
|
| Believe I have to rise
|
| When You never said I had to climb
|
| These broken ladders
|
| You never asked me to be complete
|
| By myself, find all I need
|
| So why do I try
|
| Oh, You never asked me to stand alone
|
| Face the struggles on my own
|
| So why do I try
|
| When all You ever wanted was my heart
|
| My heart, my simple heart
|
| To you that’s all that really matters
|
| Why do I feel I have to reach
|
| Believe I have to rise
|
| When You never said I had to climb
|
| These broken ladders
|
| 'Cause all they do is take
|
| My eyes off of You
|
| Make me forget the truth
|
| All You ever wanted was my heart
|
| My heart, my simple heart
|
| To You that’s all that really matters
|
| Why do I feel I have to reach
|
| Believe I have to rise
|
| When You never said I had to climb
|
| Oh, You never said I had to climb
|
| These broken ladders
|
| Oh, these broken ladders |
