I won't ask you...

I won’t ask you to call and say you miss me
And tell me about your day
I won’t ask you to tell me I’m amazing
In every impossible way

If there’s anything I have to ask you for
I don’t want it anymore, no no,
I don’t want it anymore

I won’t ask you to understand my feelings
And listen to my point of view
I won’t ask you to save me from myself
And say ‘I love you’

If there’s anything I have to ask you for
I don’t want it anymore, no no,
I don’t want it anymore

I won’t ask you to straighten my confusion
Or put up with my moods
I won’t ask you to run to me when I need you
And be the only one you choose

If there’s anything I have to ask you for
I don’t want it anymore, no no,
I don’t want it anymore

I won’t ask you to defend my decisions
When they lead me astray
I won’t ask you to listen to all my stories
And believe what they say

If there’s anything I have to ask you for
I don’t want it anymore, no no,
I don’t want it anymore

I won’t ask you to notice every kindness
And say thank you to me
I won’t ask you to stay her by my side
And always be true to me

If there’s anything I have to ask you for
I don’t want it anymore, no no,
I don’t want it anymore
