Love Is Worth Crossing Boundary Lines

You say I didn’t give you your fair shake
I used your heart and I was a fake
You say I never gave and left a big wake
That’s what you see, but that’s not my take

I wanted to love you and oh I tried
But you pushed me away with every stride
Every little thing had to be your way
And if I didn’t comply you’d always complain 

I gave you love as best I could 
You couldn’t accept my love for you
Maybe with the next one you’ll realize
Love is worth crossing boundary lines

You said we were fine if I didn’t cross the line
But no matter what I did, I crossed it every time
The rules always changed depending on the day
I really did love you, but I’m not into games

I gave up trying, I couldn’t be perfect
I loved you better than you deserved it
But it wasn’t enough to match what you expected
So now it’s over because you say you’re neglected 

I gave you love as best I could 
You couldn’t accept my love for you
Maybe with the next one you’ll realize
Love is worth crossing boundary lines
