Please Love Me

Can you see, between the lines?

Find the truth behind my lies

See the hidden messages

Buried deep in my eyes

It's not fair how you do this to me

The way you make me feel

All these new sensations

Cause me to lose track of what is real

I am on my knees before you

Begging pleading with my eyes

Part of me wants to be free

The rest wants to stay

Can you see past my lies?

You've invaded my dreams

My every idle waking moment

Is filled with thoughts of you

Memories of your smile, the

Way you laugh every movement

I am on my knees before you

Crying out for mercy, release

From this endless torment

Please, please won't you let me go?

Can you see past my lies?

Behind closed eyes I see you

In the music of my life I hear you

Do you see the way you control me

This unbreakable hold you have?

I am on my knees before you

Crippled by the feelings you stir

A cold heart, beating once again

Almost painfully inside of me

I struggle against these chains

But can you see past the acts?

Staring defiantly as cruel words

Fall from my lips, cut to the bone

I turn away not wanting to see

The aftermath, the pain in my wake

One word and I will fall

One word to bring me running

Do you see under the mask?

See the being behind the act?

On my knees I struggle, scream

Glaring, cursing you

Yet I don't truly want to escape

I don't want the game to end

Break me; bend me to your will

The ice suffocating the unbeating

Unfeeling heart breaks

As I scream, beg and plead

"Please love me!"
