Lyrics

[Verse 1] You never asked me to be king Build my tower up to the sky So why do I try You never asked me to be rich Buy the things that gold can buy So why do I try [Chorus] All You ever wanted was my heart My heart, my simple heart To You that's all that really matters Why do I feel I have to reach Believe I have to rise When You never said I had to climb These broken ladders [Verse 2] You never asked me to be complete By myself, find all I need So why do I try Oh, You never asked me to stand alone Face the struggles on my own So why do I try [Chorus] When all You ever wanted was my heart My heart, my simple heart To you that's all that really matters Why do I feel I have to reach Believe I have to rise When You never said I had to climb These broken ladders [Bridge] 'Cause all they do is take My eyes off of You Make me forget the truth [Chorus] All You ever wanted was my heart My heart, my simple heart To You that's all that really matters Why do I feel I have to reach Believe I have to rise When You never said I had to climb Oh, You never said I had to climb These broken ladders Oh, these broken ladders
