If He Tried

It's finally breaking me down
 To my credit I feel like I held on as long as I could
 I barely recognize myself now
 I'd teach my heart to lie if I thought that it would
 I don't need the whole world to think I'm special
 I don't need him to hang the stars in the sky
 Pay for all my sins or save me from drowning
 But wouldn't it be nice - If he tried
 It's finally tearing me apart
 An impossible mending you can't see from the outside
 No one knows where all the pieces are
 Do you love me I say, "sure" he replied
 I don't need the whole world to think I'm special
 I don't need him to hang the stars in the sky
 Pay for all my sins or save me from drowning
 But wouldn't it be nice
 Oh wouldn't it be nice
 If his eyes would light up - when he spoke my name
 If he'd run to catch me in his arms
 At the end of the day
 I don't need the whole world to think I'm special
 I don't need him to pull the stars from the sky
 Just to string up my name in tiny sparkling lights
 But wouldn't it be nice
 Wouldn't it be nice,
 If he tried...
