Do you see me at all
When I come home stressed
Wishing you could kiss away
the frown on my fore
And hug away the stress
I know you see the hunger in my eyes
If only you'd run me a hot bath
to calm my nerves
and squeeze my hands with a smile
I know you won't, but I wish you could

I know you hear me
When I talk about my fears and worries
If only you do listen with a smile
And let me know you've got my back
Hold my head to your chest as I vent
I know you won't, but I wish you could

You laugh when I laugh
Your voice resonates in songs
and your dance is infectious
You laugh uncontrollably
at my jokes and teasing
And hit me with the pillow
when I'm not looking
I know you want to let go
I know You won't, but I wish you could

You say you believe me
when I say
I love you; I need you
Sade means nothing,
and she really doesn't
You say you trust me
You should be saying
I love you too
But you won't, and I wish you could

Cos when I say I'm stressed,
you think I'm being manipulating
When I express my fears and worries,
you think I'm playing mind games
When I'm happy,
you think it's cos there's another
And when I talk
about my love for you,
you think it's cos
I'm hiding something else
Oftentimes It feels like
you want to let go
Every other time I see the futility
of trying to set you free
You could set yourself free,
but would you?
