What would I do to get you to notice me?
I would cross the universe
And bring you back a star
I would swim to the depths of the sea
And bring you a pebble from the ocean floor
I would let you read my heart and soul
With no inhibitions or shame
If it meant you would see me again
See me with the eyes of love
And realize the agony I'm in
If only your arms would open
So I'd have somewhere to hide
And your ears would hear the despair in my voice
If you'd only see that I'm not running
But that you're pushing me away
Your cold shoulders, your denial, your voyages of ego, the pounding of your
words, the cruelty of your love, and the painful decision you keep forcing
me to consider
I'm losing trust in your love
I'm seeing things that I don't want to believe
My faith is diminishing
With every harsh word, every time you disregard my words, my needs, my
heart
And try to dictate my love
But, oh, what I wouldn't do
To have you look at me like I'm that shooting star
That I would gladly fetch for you
You saw me that way once
And it brought me to my knees
When did your world tilt?
To become this tirade of degradation
You turned it all around so well
Now my inhibitions are limitless
My love has turned to shame
You no longer see me as that star
Now I'm just a pebble in your shoe
