Call it a learning process And I've never been that quick Because I take things as they come And I respond how I see fit But it's easy to get distracted As I've been living life abroad But I starve for your acceptance And I wait for your applause I'd always envisioned myself as a giver But as I reflect I've left something to be desired Not that my heart Hasn't ever delivered But that it's never felt This inspired To have direction to feel complete To embrace affection to end all the woe is me But mainly to harbor the love that I have to give But for tonight let's just stay inside Well it's far too loud and I just want quiet And if we die before we wake I'll blame it on the past mistakes Without you I'm not pure And without you I'm not clean But if I'm going down with you Then you're going down with me What I'm afraid of is one deserting What I'm sure of is that it's on me But I'm too tired to be that person And that person needs to be set free To harbor the love that I have to give
