Lord, she says I'm tired
Of living life this way
Hiding what I'm feeling
Keeping you at bay

Love me anyway

Look upon my secrets
The things that I can't show
Understand my sickness
Know the things I know

Love me anyway

Tell me that you love me
Tell me that you care
Tell me that you hate me
Make me unaware

Love me anyway

Love is never easy
Love is never free
If it seems that easy
You're not doing it properly

Tightly wound and careful
Surreptitiously
Knowing that you're knowing
Only part of me

Love me anyway
Love me anyway

Love is never easy
Love is never free
If it seems that easy
You're not doing it properly

Listen to my words
Forget the things I say
Climb inside my skull
And then quickly go away

Love me anyway
Love me anyway
