[Verse 1]
It's dawn when you are darkest
I wait for the light
And I have tried my hardest
But nothin' that I do makes you shine

[Verse 2]
When you're here, you are not here
I wonder where it is your mind goes
'Cause it’s quiet
Oh, but I can't feel the silence anymore

[Chorus]
Don't I deserve feelin' like I'm worth someone who gives a damn?
I don't know why I've given all my time to a boy who won't be a man

[Verse 3]
I swore up and down that I could, but now I'm not sure that I can
'Cause a person has a limit of just how much indifference they'll stand

[Chorus]
Don't I deserve feelin' like I'm worth someone who gives a damn?
I don't know why I'm wastin' all my time on a boy who won't be a man

[Verse 4]
I have loved, I do love
And surely I'll just keep on lovin' you
But now it's from a distance
This apathy is somethin' I can’t do
[Chorus]
'Cause I deserve knowin' that I'm worth someone who gives a damn
And I've had enough of givin' all my love to a boy who won't be a man
To a boy who won't be a man
You're a boy, and I need a man
