Too Much To ask

Written by CHRISTINE JOY

I slide onto a cold barstool
Not sure where to start.
You laugh like you’ve been hurt before
I smile with a guarded heart
We don’t rush into the deep end
We let the quiet fill the room
You feel my hesitation
And ask what to do

Chorus
Pull me close, like what dreams are made of
Don’t leave when life gets rough
Don’t make me beg for your love
Show me I’m always enough
I just want to be loved like that
If it’s not too much to ask

Verse 2
moths dance in the porch light
Neither wants to say goodbye.
You’re scared of disappearing
I’m scared of asking too much this time
Some nights we almost pull away
Old habits take the wheel
Scared to break the silence
What if this isn't real

Chorus
Hold me close, like what dreams are made of
Don’t leave when life gets rough
Don’t make me beg for your love
Show me I’m already enough
I just want to be loved like that
Maybe it’s not too much to ask

Bridge
We don’t promise forever easy
We don’t pretend we’re not afraid
Reach for my hand like you mean it
And I won't run away

Maybe love don’t have to hurt first
Maybe it can start right where we are
Two people choosing each other daily
Trying not to let the past decide the heart

Chorus
Hold me close like what dreams are made of
Don't leave when life gets rough
Don't make me beg for your love
Show me I'm always enough
I want to be loved like that


I’ll hold you close like what dreams are made of
I won’t leave when life gets rough
I won’t make you beg for my love
Show you you’re always enough
If you want to be loved like that
Oh baby just ask

[Fade out] Cause’ it’s not too much to ask
