What is it you expect of me? <br />I take hold and squeeze your hand <br />To let you know you are not alone <br />I am standing beside you <br />When you feel like giving up <br />My shoulders are soaking wet <br />From the tears that you have cried <br />But still this is not enough <br />What is it you expect of me? <br />I have lied to the world <br />Just to keep your confidence <br />My ears still throb from the anger <br />That you need to vent <br />I’ve hidden all my pain <br />To shield you from any more <br />Is this still not enough? <br />What is it you expect of me? <br />Today I crumbled beneath your weight <br />Because I took all I could bare <br />Now you wonder why I am pieces <br />Being your friend has a price that I cannot pay.<br /><br />C.R.
