I’m a giver by nature
I give all I have
Before I ever receive anything

I’m reckless with affection
Pouring it out liberally
For the one that I truly care about

But I feel empty now
Bone dry and I’m not being filled
No one is pouring back into me

I don’t want to lose you
But I need more of you
More quality, not quantity

Because I give so hard
I fall so deep
I love so strong

And when I step back
I feel like I’m alone
And I’ve fallen further than you

My instinct is to withdraw
Recoil and protect myself
Distance myself enough to let you catch me

And I don’t want to say anything
Because what if it’s my imagination
And I’m just paranoid because I’ve been hurt

But what if my feelings are legitimate
Or worse than that
What if you have withdrawn from me

I’m unsure of the right move
And I feel unsure about us
My heart is torn up

I know I don’t need you
I can make it on my own
But that’s not the point

Because I would like to have you
I desire to be your everyday
I want to be with you

So I guess the real question
That I need to know
Is do you want me too?
