Why are you so good to me?
I should have been better for you
But I wasn't.

You treat me with respect
I don't know why
My stubborn pride always got in the way

You are always there for me
No matter when or why
As much as you didn't want to
Lord knows I wasn't always there for you
As much as I wanted to be

You love me
Although it is not the way I wanted it
I used to resent that
It is still hard
To not receive the love back
That you try so hard to give

Although I have not always been there
And I have not always been good to you
And I have not tried my best to get you back
I have loved you as much as my heart could allow
Sometimes I just wish I could give you more
I would give you everything if I could.
