Eric Slick - Anxious To Please Lyrics

You made me happier when you lived on the surface
The days were simple then but now it isn't working for me
I don't know what I would I do
I still carry the weight of choosing
I'm always on the run from sentimental one on ones

I don't wanna be liked anymore
I just wanna be loved
Is it so much to ask?
Everyone sees that I'm anxious to please
But I want something more
Is it so much to ask for?

What am I doing in the shadows of my purpose?
When you held me you unfurled your hands and made it worth it
Now I know what I would do
Move through life cause I still need you
There's more important things to see,
And now I see them as they are

I don't wanna be liked anymore
I just wanna be loved
Is it so much to ask?
Everyone sees that I'm anxious to please
But I want something more
Is it so much to ask for?

Trying hard to be somebody else
But I'm giving it back to myself
Some days I'm squeezing the blood from a stone
From far away you can't tell how much that I've grown
