Broken Ladders

[Verse 1]
You never asked me to be king
Build my tower up to the sky
So why do I try
You never asked me to be rich
Buy the things that gold can buy
So why do I try

[Chorus]
All You ever wanted was my heart
My heart, my simple heart
To You that's all that really matters
Why do I feel I have to reach
Believe I have to rise
When You never said I had to climb
These broken ladders

[Verse 2]
You never asked me to be complete
By myself, find all I need
So why do I try
Oh, You never asked me to stand alone
Face the struggles on my own
So why do I try

[Chorus]
When all You ever wanted was my heart
My heart, my simple heart
To you that's all that really matters
Why do I feel I have to reach
Believe I have to rise
When You never said I had to climb
These broken ladders

[Bridge]
'Cause all they do is take
My eyes off of You
Make me forget the truth

[Chorus]
All You ever wanted was my heart
My heart, my simple heart
To You that's all that really matters
Why do I feel I have to reach
Believe I have to rise
When You never said I had to climb
Oh, You never said I had to climb
These broken ladders
Oh, these broken ladders
