I gave you first place, but you’d rather be last.
I gave you the oceans, but you only wanted the sea.
I gave you the secret to my heart, but you wanted the key.
I gave you happiness, but you just wanted joy.
I gave you communication, but you’d rather be coy.
I gave you “forever,” but you wanted “to the end.”
I gave you a man, but you preferred just a friend.
I gave you my everything, but you only wanted me.
No matter what I couldn’t satisfy you; it wasn’t meant to be.

I gave you diamonds, but you merely wanted a pearl.
I gave you the universe, but you just wanted the world.
I gave you the whole world, but you only wanted half.
I gave you first place, but you’d rather be last.
I gave you the oceans, but you only wanted the sea.
I gave you the secret to my heart, but you wanted the key.
I gave you happiness, but you just wanted joy.
I gave you communication, but you’d rather be coy.

I gave you a man, but you preferred just a friend.
I gave you my everything, but you only wanted me.
No matter what I couldn’t satisfy you; it wasn’t meant to be.
