Lyrics

Nobody has the key to my door
And friends never seem to ask anymore
If I've found that special someone I can call my own
What would I give for a touch or a kiss?
Ah, these are the thoughts that I strive to dismiss
Because here is a heart that has learned to survive all alone
Such modest dreams
So unambitious and so restrained
Such fragile hopes
Small, yet delicious and quite contained
Should one demand the stars and moon and earth
Only to find the pittance one is worth?
We all want love
I'm no exception, it's hard to find
It's not as though I sought perfection
Just someone kind
I'd always thought that I would in time settle down
But when I looked, the circus had left town
Those modest dreams
Inconsequential and everyday
And yet the years saw my potential just slip away
Always assumed I could afford to wait
Woke up to find I'd left it far too late
I wanted just what seemed realistic, within my grasp
And here I am, a mere statistic, my moments passed
Why does a heart that asks for so little get less?
Must be the way the cards are dealt, I guess
