I want you to love me like you did before you knew me...

I want someone to know me, maybe tell me who I am. I want you to love me like you did before you knew me. I've been all alone and my faith has turned to stone but there is something in you that I believe in. Everything is fine, but I'm lonely all the time, all I want to do is be there for you and the things you're going through. I look and see right into your soul.

That's why I love you because I know you. I want you know I am always here to show you who you are or who I am. You want to know how deeply my soul goes?... It goes deeper than bones. I may live in numbness now, in the background. As the world spins out of control, I'm here not knowing and moving oh so slowly.

I've never been so alone, yet I've never been so alive. The vision of you is mysterious and surrounds my every being. "Don't let it bring you down, it will all come around"... I try so hard to listen, but I don't hear a word that is spoken. As time moves on, hearts get betrayed and promises get broken. With my head in my hands and my heart on the line, I cry "All I wanted was someone to love me, and see the real me".. My aching heart is bleeding for you to see that.

So, these are the dreams I will dream instead here in my head with the words that are never said. I'll sit alone with the barren tears I shed and try to catch myself before I fall, when I fall. For you I'd bleed myself dry, it's true, I'd do it all for you but all I ask is for you to love me for who I am and all else will fall into place... I want you to love me like you did before you knew me.
