How long, how long 'til I'm no longer a shadow
‘Cause I've been thinking I'd so love to feel again
Silence; I screamed her name
And wondered why you never came
I wear my curse you wear my cure
(I feel destined for disaster)
I never thought I'd be this way
Without you I'd just fade away
Please see in me what I can't see
I'm begging
Please won't you be the light I need so desperately
My heart has habits of silhouetting all my sense
I get your worth, you get my worst
(I feel destined for disaster)
I never thought I'd be this way
Without you I'd just fade away
Please see in me what I can't see
I'm begging
Please won't you be the light I need so desperately
I look for love in everybody else
‘Cause I tried but I can't love myself
Please see in me what I can't see
I'm begging
Hold me close in winter's weather
I'm too weak to pull myself together
I've tried so hard to grow in a place without your warmth
Now there's nowhere left for me unless it's safe between your arms
