What Did I Win?

Can I have anything I want?
I don't think so.

I want an ideal world
In which you waited for me,
Where love never happened half-way,
And no one ever settled.

I don't want to play a game of tug of war
With you as the rope.
I don't want to see
What's behind door number 3.

I want you to be happy;
I want to sleep at night.

Can I have anything I want?
As you said, life isn't fair:
It looked like I won, but I lost.
