Nick Teale - More than I Deserve

Do I still make you happy?
Am I still a good friend to you?
Why am I asking questions
I already know the answer to?
You're always there beside me
But I only end up wanting more
I wouldn't say I love you
If I thought that I could let you go

You help me through my trials in spite of my selfish ways
But still, I always find I yearn for those better days

You're always busy working
I've got nothing but time to kill
You've got your life together
And I don't know if I ever will
Time and again I've fallen
In a void of insecurity
How can I say I love you
With a heart so full of jealousy?

I shared your struggles knowing you would do the same
But I can't burden you with all my guilt and shame

You always told me I was more than you deserved
Why can't I let you be more than I deserve

I know you'd understand me
When I tell you that my world is gray
That never was the issue
Just my pride keeps getting in the way
I know you'd never tell me
The reality we know is true
Each failure makes it clearer
I was never good enough for you

You shouldn't have to suffer my insanity
Just like you told me, "it's not you, it's only me"

You always told me I was more than you deserved
I reached out to you like I knew you would in turn
I was your rock but now the tables all have turned
Why can't I let you be more than I deserve
