Like Ed Sheeran says, give me love, my dear
I'm a desperate fool, begging on my knees for a love I've wanted for years
I'm broken inside but I just want you to lie next to me, holding me tight

The last one who "loved" me left me in pieces, lying on the floor waiting for the end
So please be gentle, I'm a porcelain doll with a twisted frame and dull blue eyes
Fix the cracks on my body and fill me with love, something I can never get enough of

I'm sorry, my darling, I can't give you much
My heart and lungs have been torn out, I forgot how to love and breathe
These cuts on my wrists add to the damage that's been done, marring my pale skin with harsh red marks

You can find better but somehow you saw this diamond in the rough was worthy enough to pick up and dust off
Now baby I'm sorry, I'm still a little bit scared, my heart was broken and I was completely unprepared
You know I trust you, you know I love you, just please don't be afraid of me when I finally break

You've seen the worst of me, and I can't thank you enough for staying by my side
You know how scared I get and you watch me cry
I'm growing up to fast, unused to this pain, I just want to be a little innocent girl again

So please, my dear angel, my love, my best friend
Promise me you'll stay until the very end, until my heart stops beating, until all the bones in my body are broken
Although I'm scared, I know that I can trust you to take care of me, to pick me up when I fall into the dirt
So the only thing I ask of you, my dear

Is to give me love
