Broken Ladders

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

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

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

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

'Cause all they do is take

My eyes off of You

Make me forget the truth

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
