You Wouldn't Let Me

Sometimes I felt I was on the ledge
Reaching my hand to you
Expecting you
To catch me from a fall, my baby
The warning signs didn't scare me away
Maybe didn't want to see
The truth, believed
That love was where we'd stay, but baby
I tried to paint your skies in love
But you wouldn't let me, baby
You wouldn't let me, baby, baby, baby
Never thought we would end that way
Oh I was there every day
Until you said your work with me was done, my baby
Didn't feel I needed to beg
If the feeling's gone we move on
Be happier this way
I gave you love
(Gave you love)
I gave you time
(All my time)
I gave you everything you needed
And it still wasn't enough
And then you leave
(Then you leave)
Someday you'll see
(I hope you'll see)
I was your everything
I was all you'd ever need
But that's all in the past
I tried to paint your sky in love
But you wouldn't let me, baby
You wouldn't let me, baby, baby, baby
I tried to build a house of love
But you wouldn't let me, baby
You wouldn't let me baby
Let's remember when
You and I began
Our struggle bus to happy
Remember, I cried with you
I tried for you
And it still wasn't enough
Now we both moved on
House of love is strong
We found our way to happy
We could have been everything
I was all you'd ever need
We were two free kids
Full of hopes and fears
That kept us from forever
You were my everything
But you wouldn't let me
So we said good bye
Goodbye
You wouldn't let me, baby
You wouldn't let me, baby, baby
