Chris Velan You Don't Know (What You're Asking Of Me) lyrics

You wanted me to bend
So I bent like a tree
To become the man
That you wanted me to be
But I leaned so hard
That I thought I would break
Yeah, I leaned so hard/And that was my mistake//

So you don't know what you're asking of me
No, you don't know what you're asking of me//

To prove my love
You set out three tests
Three reasons for your unhappiness
I passed them all
For you I prevailed
Yeah, I passed them all
But I still failed//

So you don't know
What you're asking of me
No, you don't know
What you're asking of me
Is it harder than you thought

Being cruel and free
And you don't know
What you're asking of me//

Now you call me up
When your mind's in doubt
To weigh the cost
And to feel me out
But the answer was carved
On the stone you cast
Yeah, the answer's fading
In the past//

So you don't know what you're asking of me
No, you don't know what you're asking of me
Is it harder than you thought
Being cruel and free
You don't know what you're asking of me
No, you don't know what you're asking of me
You don't know what you're asking of me
No, no, no, no//
