Your Love


If you would let me

If you could see

What you're doing to me

Tearing me apart

With your bare hands

You don't even realize

What your eyes

Have done

To me

You don't even know

That when you leave

I watch you go

Take in every step

Make believe

You'll turn around

Look at me

One day see

What your love does to me

 

I would give you

Anything you wanted

If I only knew

What you needed from me

What would you want

Me to be

If you had the choice

And what I would say to you

If I had the voice

The time

The will

I want more

I need it so badly

I need you

I breathe you in

Skin on skin

I've never come alive

The way I do

When I'm with you

So please 

Tell me

You can see

What your love does to me

 

How do you

Break my heart

Over and over

Flying high

Then suddenly sober

One wrong word

Cuts deeper

Concealed with dirt

The shame

Of this game

We play

You love me

I beg you to stay

And you walk away

So one day

One day soon I pray

You'll begin to finally see

What your love

Has done to me
