Try so hard but to no avail It seems my acts are just in vain Every time I bend over backwards You kick me off my feet Passive like a timid slave I persevere 'til I nearly cave But every time I willingly return
And all I want is to be loved by you And everything I do is ignored by you
No one but you can take away the things that I love It's a power you possess that I just can't bear thinking of, it's too hard I let you into my head now I can't get you out Every minute of each day and night my head is filled with doubt, such doubt
Isolated, I have no one else Paralysed by my dependence But still I try with all my might but why? Wishing that I could break away But my obsession forces me to stay So complacent as you exploit all I am
And all I want is to be loved by you And everything I do is ignored by you
No one but you can take away the things that I love It's a power you possess that I just can't bear thinking of, it's too hard I let you into my head now I can't get you out Every minute of each day and night my head is filled with doubt, such doubt
Taking all that you can from me Causing damage that only I can see Simplistic mundane gestures that cripple me You keep on magnifying my insecurity
And all I want is to be loved by you And everything I do is ignored by you
No one but you can take away the things that I love It's a power you possess that I just can't bear thinking of, it's too hard I let you into my head now I can't get you out Every minute of each day and night my head is filled with doubt, such doubt
