You wanted me to be your world

Your starry sky and moon

You didn’t realize that it meant

I’d have to orbit you.

You wanted me to be your fire

Your only source of warmth

You didn’t realize that it meant

I’d have to burn for you.

You wanted me to be your heart

Your passion and your drive

You didn’t realize that it meant

I’d have to give up mine.

You wanted me to be your anchor

Your calm within the storm

You didn’t realize that it meant

I’d have to drown for you.
