Love It Or Leave It


You love me

Then you leave me

In one breath

One in the same

That's what you say

And I wait

Every night

I want it 

I want you

So bad

But then you're gone

Before you're even really here

And you promie me

Every night

Every time

And I believe it

Because I can't stand it otherwise

 

Take me as I am

All that I am

I give it you

Every night

I give it all to you

Every single time

We go around and around

In dead circles

Going nowhere

But down

Fast and hard

I'm falling hard

Fast and dangerous

Like a live wire

I'm hanging on to empty words

And you know

How bad it hurts

 

You can come

And you can go

It's so easy for you

On you

And I'm drowning

Waiting for you

Each and every night

Drowning quick

Without a word

I burn

I yearn

And you wait

Take your turn

And you love me

Better then anyone before you

But all you ever do

Is leave me hanging

 

So either way

All I had to say

All I need of you

Is all of you

Every piece

I would take happily

Eagerly

I'm dying

I'm crying

And I'm only here to save you

From you

And all you do

Is take me down

With you

So either love me

And mean it

Or leave it
