lyrics

CENTER OF YOUR UNIVERSE

Why aren’t I the center of your universe ?
You know the lines but I can’t get you to rehearse

Don’t you care when I get hurt or happiness
Boggles me that you’re not thrilled by my success

Once you cared but only for an afternoon
I was thrilled evaporated much too soon

Disappeared and crawled back inside your balloon
What I feared came true the pain has made a fool of me

It has made a fool of me

Why aren’t I the center of your universe ?
I was king and you were dirt now it’s reversed

Did it come down to a simple power play?
If I played it hard to get would you have stayed?

Made a fool of me
It has made a fool of me

RAP
My life is in your hands
An hourglass of sand
Has shattered 'cross the floor

I needed so much more
You gave me so much less
I offered you my best
But that was not enough

Loving you is tough
