If it's not too much to ask
That never seemed to stop you
But I was up to the task
I'm coming to your rescue
'Cause when you packed your bags and followed your dreams
I left my home and followed you
There's no doubt that when you'd ask
There's no cap to what I'd do
But when you turned and smiled at me as if to ask if I'd smile too
I missed the only mark that counts
I did everything but love you
By the letter of the law
I'd have crowned myself a saint
But now I think you saw
Behind my picture perfect face
My bitter self-restraint
'Cause when you packed your bags and followed your dreams
I left my home and followed you
There's no doubt that when you'd ask
There's no cap to what I'd do
But when you turned and smiled at me as if to ask if I'd smile too
I missed the only mark that counts
I did everything but love you
Was that not love?
Did I not love you?
It would've cost no more to love you
'Cause when you packed your bags and followed your dreams
I left my family for you
And when you'd cry I would cry too
And when it got dark I'd carry you
But when you tuned out all the things I would say and watched to see if my eyes were true
I guess I missed the only mark that counts
I did everything but love you
