I need you to love me.
Is that so hard to do?
I have the gracious love of others,
but the thing is, it's not you.

I want you to want me.
Don't you want it too?
I can see the longing in your eyes,
it's one you can't subdue.

Don't lie to me.
Can you tell me the truth?
Foundations are not built on lies;
let's not be uncouth.

Don't make me cry.
Are you empowered when I'm broken?
Could these words that bring such pain,
just be left unspoken?

If you do these things, you'll get my love;
my love, my time, my heart.
I trust you, and I love you.
Please, don't tear me apart.
