I Never Ask

I'm always the first one to show up for you
Doing the things that you don't want to do
I pick up the pieces when you break down
But when I need someone you're not around

I guess you're waiting for a call
But I'm the type that doesn't ask at all
I give 'til there's nothing left inside
But you never see the tears I hide

I don't ask for much no I never do
But I still hope that you'd come through
I'm tired of feeling like I don't belong
Always strong but it feels so wrong

I never ask for what I need
But can't you help before I bleed?
I give and I give 'til there's nothing left
But you only wait for me to confess
I need someone to notice without being told
To give me warmth when I'm feeling cold
But I'm breaking under the weight of my past
Because I never ask

You're waiting for me to make the move
But I'm too tired to prove I need you too
How many times have I stood by your side
While you wait for me to swallow my pride?

It's always been my burden to bear
But why can't you see and just be there?
I'd never let you fall alone
But when I need help I'm on my own

I don't ask for much no I never do
But somehow I still needed you
You let me carry it all again
Never thought to be my friend

I never ask for what I need
But can't you help before I bleed?
I give and I give 'til there's nothing left
But you only wait for me to confess
I need someone to notice without being told
To give me warmth when I'm feeling cold
But I'm breaking under the weight of my past
Because I never ask

One day maybe I'll learn to say
That I need you in the worst way
But right now I'm drowning in my own waves
And I'm praying that someone saves me

I never ask for what I need
But can't you help me once before I bleed?
I give and I give 'til there's nothing left
But you only wait for me to confess
I need someone to notice without being told
To give me warmth when I'm feeling cold
But I'm breaking under the weight of my past
Because I never ask
