The cold makes me shiver
The knot in my stomach forms
Memories of loneliness rush back
My parents fighting in the next room
Both of them screaming
Every night I couldn't sleep
I lay helpless and wait
And it's another day of pretend
Things are okay
The tears dry up by morning
The road for you is harder
You've got more to prove
But it is simply this
Show me you want my love
This is what love means to me
Anything's better than
The crappy love in my head
If you listen to my plea
Move me with your efforts
This is what love means to me
Things do not seem different now
I say I want or don't want this
Yet I get discarded as silly
At work I fix everything
But in love, I may be stupid
I know the knot is back
And I lay helpless and wait
It is cold and I shiver
I know only of love broken
But I thought I deserve better
The road for you is harder
You've got more to prove
But it is simply this
Show me you want my love
This is what love means to me
Anything's better than
The crappy love in my head
If you listen to my plea
Move me with your efforts
This is what love means to me
Then why am I not getting it?
I am here hurting
But I only feel your disregard
I don't want to be alone
But I feel like I am
This love brings me back
To a scary familiar place
I don't want to feel helpless
Get it together cuz I'm cold
Fix the love that I know.
The road for you is harder
You've got more to prove
But it is simply this
Show me you want my love
This is what love means to me
Anything's better than
The crappy love in my head
If you listen to my plea
Move me with your efforts
This is what love means to me
