i asked for so little - xania monet lyrics

[intro]
ah
oh

[verse 1]
i didn’t need a hero
didn’t need gifts
didn’t need saving
i just needed someone
who didn’t make love feel like begging
i wasn’t asking for the world
just a text back before midnight
just a hug when my thoughts get loud
and your voice when mine goes quiet
you act like i asked for heaven
but i only ever wanted your presence
you busy for everybody else
but i’m always at the bottom of your checklist
and i let it slide, way too many times
made excuses for the way you love
told myself, “at least he tried”
but even lies come dressed in effort sometimes

[chorus]
i asked for so little, and still got less
didn’t want your money, just your respect
didn’t need diamonds, just some d*mn consistency
and it’s crazy how cheap i priced my peace
i gave you my heart, all you had to do was hold it
but you kept dropping it like it was stolen
wasn’t asking for much, but i guess even that
was too heavy for the hands you have
[verse 2]
i stayed through the drought, through your silence
through the mood swings and broken promises
built a home on maybe and almost
but you ain’t even show up for the foundation
i learned to shrink just to fit your comfort
clapped for you while i was hurting
asked for time, you gave excuses
asked for honesty, you gave confusion
and i kept forgiving, kept on giving
even when you gave me empty in return
tried to turn pain into patience
but your patterns taught me what i had to learn

[bridge]
now i’m done apologizing for my standards
done making room for temporary answers
love shouldn’t feel like proving i’m worthy
to someone who never planned to choose me early
[outro]
i wasn’t hard to love
you were just too lazy to try
i asked for so little
and even that was too much
