"Lord", she says, "I'm tired Of living life this way Hiding what I'm feeling, Keeping you at bay Love me anyway "Look upon my secrets The things that I can't show Understand my sickness Know the things I know Love me anyway "Tell me that you love me, Tell me that you care Tell me that you hate me Make me unaware Love me anyway" "Love is never easy Love is never free If it seems that easy You're not doing it properly" "Tightly wound and careful Surreptitiously Knowing that you're knowing Only part of me Love me anyway" "Listen to my words, Forget the things I say Climb inside my skull And then quickly go away Love me anyway"
