Love Me

(Hook)
The drops are getting in my shoes and the laces alone can't take away my blues
Are you only passing through or are you gonna love me?
The drops are getting in my shoes and the laces alone can't take away my blues
Are you only passing through or are you gonna love me?

Verse 1
I always had a plan, always had a vision
Me and her together? Thought it would be different
Figured we'd conquer the world, give it all up for this girl
But I knew you were bruised, used and abused
Been around a lot, bad mouthed through the news
Still didn't give a fuck, couldn't give it up
Stayed real and I stuck while everyone else only wanted a nut
You did have a few that tried to stay true but like everything new they eventually grew
They all tried to change you, adjust you and tame you
I knew all along they should never try to claim you
I clearly remember the first day we met
I was told from the get then time and time again
Never to expect a thing in return no matter how much sweat or blood that I shed
But a life in your eyes is not a thing to regret
Even though it scares me, I know it's prepared me for the day when your ears can no longer bear me
I'm compared to that type who comes around rarely
But if you think Ima quit, go ahead dare me
If you're only passing through, I beg of you to spare me
Cause I've put in 12 years and it seems unfair to me
The closer I feel, the more you pull away, stray another way
Let someone seduce you, walk around and pollute you
When it comes down to it, they blatantly exclude you
What does that do for you? Acting like you're foolproof
Never asked for much, just loyalty and trust
I've given all of me now I want a piece of us
I'll never turn my back for the fact you've kept me intact but I can't deny that:

(Hook)
The drops are getting in my shoes and the laces alone can't take away my blues
Are you only passing through or are you gonna love me?
The drops are getting in my shoes and the laces alone can't take away my blues
Are you only passing through or are you gonna love me?

Verse 2
I never chose to stay but I never had to leave
She gave me everything that I would ever need
And maybe I'd make her believe, show her this heart on my sleeve
But each time you've been hurt, tryna prove your worth
Each one made you theirs but never put in work
So now that I'm here, I'll make it all clear
Don't mistake caution for fear
I could tell you're fed up with each and every one who said you were enough then real quick switched up
Only after one thing, you've been in a state of bliss
How dearly you're missed
Please tell me how to find you, give me a chance
Allow me to revive you, I need a last dance
Though your departure happened so abruptly, imagine how it could've been if you truly did love me
What would be the odds of having no one else above me? But I'm not that lucky
Guess I gotta keep on moving, keep improving
Prove what it means to not accept losing
I've always been yours, how can I be the one you're refusing?
Now don't get me wrong interpreting this song, I would never trade in the place I belong
But I've come to accept that everyone's a threat
Chasing after you, going at my own neck; what a love to protect
But between you and I? No lies to be kept
So where am I left? Pushed to the side with the taste of neglect?
Thank you for the times that allowed me to refelect
But still to this day never needed a check
All I wanted was respect for this endless quest but yet:

(Hook)
The drops are getting in my shoes and the laces alone can't take away my blues
Are you only passing through or are you gonna love me?
The drops are getting in my shoes and the laces alone can't take away my blues
Are you only passing through or are you gonna love me?

(Outro)
If you could just take the time to put your faith in me
I'm giving you a piece of my mind, just put your faith in me
I'm making up for lost time but I need your faith in me
I might go out of my mind, just keep your faith in me
Your love is all that I need, I promise not to let you down
Without you I don't know where I'd be, I'll always hold you down
Give me everything that you've got and show me that you trust me
You've always stuck around but are you gonna love me?
