don’t you know I want your love when i ask for it
dont you know that im crying inside
dont you know that im as sad as you are
i have feelings too
so please dont walk away
you can never see the tears on my face when i want you to
i scream for the second time and you think it’s the first
with the world covering your ears there is no time for anyone but yourself
so please don’t walk away
full of mixed emotions
waiting for the world to change
my body crumbles when i don’t have your arms to embrace
you think i’m strong and i am
except for when you
walk away
