I tried to show how much I loved you,
But you wanted me to love you your way.
I loved you unconditionally,
But still you wanted more.
I tried to be the best person I could be,
You wanted me to be best your way.
I am the best person I can be,
I'm still not good enough.
I tried to do all the little things,
you wanted me to do ever little thing your way.
I did all the little things after you'd left,
Because it took too long your way.
I tried to give with all my heart,
You wanted me to give your way.
I gave regardless both your way and mine,
It still wasn't good enough for you.
I wanted to learn and grow with you
You just wanted me to do it your way.
I did learn and I did grow
But I did it without you,
While you were too busy making sure,
I did it your way.
