Lyrics

[00:21.068] I'm always loving someone
[00:25.900] more than they love me
[00:29.375] Lord I wish that just this once
[00:35.148] that's not how it would be
[00:42.828] I always try too hard
[00:46.903] when I find someone new
[00:50.455] God I wish just this once
[00:55.732] You'd need me more than I need you
[01:03.778] I danced to please my father
[01:09.159] just to win once glance
[01:13.495] Some sign of his approval
[01:16.865] I danced and danced and danced and danced
[01:20.340] I smiled to make my mother proud
[01:26.191] I was her child
[01:30.083] To gain some small attention
[01:33.270] I smiled and smiled and smiled and smiled
[01:37.397] My books and bikes I bartered
[01:41.473] to try and buy a friend
[01:46.305] Now I'm grown
[01:48.264] This heart I own is the currency
[01:52.157] I spent and spent and spent
[01:58.374] And in the end
[02:02.736] I'll give you everything I own
[02:09.450] Sure you'd never want me
[02:14.831] For myself alone
[02:20.917] How I hate the way I am
[02:25.045] Always trying to impress
[02:28.467] Lord if I could love me more
[02:33.352] I could love you less
[02:40.431] And if I could love you less
[02:44.375] I would not confuse you
[02:47.432] Dancing dancing smiling smiling
[02:52.970] Till of course I lose you
