All I Wanted Was You

A ring upon your finger. So close to all I wanted from the first year we were together, to show the world I was yours and you mine and no one else's. That there was room for no one. That we would wake up next to each other for the rest of our lives, have kids, grow old. You never understood that though I may not have had things the way I preferred, I was ok, because I had what I really wanted, you. I was able to wait six years, because the wait was supposed to be worth it. I didn't know the wait would break my heart instead.

You act as if it's a compliment
When I say you're good at lies.
Do you see the pain you cause,
the torture and surprise?

You say I am self-righteous now,
Not realizing the point I try to make,
Your heart must be unwavering, decided and true.
Do you not see by my staying
my devotion to you?

I cannot make you want the things that I do.
I give you the rules,
but still broken they become.
Who are we when all is said and done?
