If you want to love someone like me(
Then, baby, youve got to make me see that it aint hopeless(
No, it aint 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 youll try but thats only a way(
To say later on that you never did say(
That you would(
Because you wont(
Oh you could, (
But darling, you dont((
If you want to love someone like me(
Then, baby, youve got to make me see that it aint hopeless(
No, it aint 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 Ive dulled these eyes of mine(
Because I fear being trapped more than being alone(
So Ive 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(Its a sea(of longing((If you want to love
Someone like me(then, baby, youve got to make me see that it aint
Hopeless(No, it aint hopeless for me to believe
