Love Me Anyway

"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"

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