Anxious To Please

You made me happier when you lived on the surface

The days were simple then but now it isn't working for me

I don't know what I would I do

I still carry the weight of choosing

I'm always on the run from sentimental one on ones

I don't wanna be liked anymore

I just wanna be loved

Is it so much to ask?

Everyone sees that I'm anxious to please

but I want something more

Is it so much to ask for?

What am I doing in the shadows of my purpose?

When you held me you unfurled your hands and made it worth it

Now I know what I would do

Move through life cause I still need you

There's more important things to see,

and now I see them as they are

I don't wanna be liked anymore

I just wanna be loved

Is it so much to ask?

Everyone sees that I'm anxious to please

but I want something more

Is it so much to ask for?

Trying hard to be somebody else

But I'm giving it back to myself

Some days I'm squeezing the blood from a stone

From far away you can't tell how much that I've grown
