If you want to love someone like me
then, baby, you've got to make me see that it ain't hopeless
No, it ain't hopeless for me to believe

How come the scale is always tipped? 
What love comes with conditions like this? 
Enough, too tired to say a word
Because I know what comes after
Like the wind you change but you come right back 
With more up your sleeve and your pride intact
You say that you'll try but that's only a way
To say later on that you never did say
That you would
Because you won't
Oh you could,
But darling, you don't

If you want to love someone like me
then, baby, you've got to make me see that it ain't hopeless
No, it ain't hopeless for me to believe

Well now the worst is over, yet
our love exists in retrospect
Forget the girl who used to shine
Lord knows I've dulled these eyes of mine
Because I fear being trapped more than being alone 
So I've wandered this life a lost soul stepping stone 
Digging down deep, and pulling it out
Stretching so thin that everyone doubts
They can see
the true me
It's a sea 
of longing

If you want to love someone like me
then, baby, you've got to make me see that it ain't hopeless
No, it ain't hopeless for me to believe
