I never claimed to know you
I just wanted to love you
And if you looked into my heart
And saw all the hate
That has corrupted me
Would you turn away
Would you say you never knew me?
I can see you aren't interested
In my basic intellect
I can see you just want warmth
Like the sun warms your skin
And you want to know strength
Like a river rushing toward the sea
I want to offer you treasure
But you have all you desire
I want to crush your fear
But you say you need me more
It's not how I planned
It's not the life I expected
But then how could I have known
That I'd end up here
With my face to the ground
And my arms around you
I'm sorry if you need me to
I'm anything at all
I'll say that I love you
But I know it's not enough
You can get that anywhere
It's me that needs you more
