Lyrics

Show me

what I need.

Force me

to believe.

What I need from you would make you wince.

Reason to keep breathing ever since.

You watch from

afar,

waiting till after

dark. Wishing,

hoping, praying just won't do.

I need you to show me that it's true.

Follow

to be free.

Nothing surprises

me.

When your words rub up against each

other,

I no longer think, I just get

smothered.

But I know you can, I

know you show me

what I need.

Show me

what I need. Force

me to

believe.

In a place where they let babies cry.

You wear your fine clothes out from the

inside.

From your squirming, I see

nothing of

myself

in you.

Pouring water through our sins again.

You know better, but you don't know when.

You curl your voice

around

me, and it's

just sound.

Being with you is like steam to ice.

Staying here and I am lame for life.

Love ends with

bitterness,

tasting of

cider press.

From the apples of a lover's

heart. Isn't

it just better not to

start? But I want

to,

I want you. Show

me what I

need. Force

me to

believe.
