[Verse 1]
Well, y'know that I want your loving
But my logic tells me it ain't never gonna happen
And then my defenses say I didn't want it anyway
But you know sometimes I'm a liar

[Pre-Chorus]
Could you ever want me to love you?
Could you ever want me to care?
Disregard my nervousness
Please ignore my vacant stares

[Chorus]
Cause just what I've been through
Is nothing like where I'm going to
Give me some sign to pursue a promise
And you're unhappy, this is only a guess

[Verse 2]
Do you know what it's like to hate
When it's way down deep inside?
Oh God, I hate what's been done to my life
I could rule the pain, I could rule the night
Or would it ruin my salvation, ruin my mind
Rule your pains, rulers of the night
Ruin your salvation, ruin your mind
[Verse 3]
You know that I want your loving
Well, then Mr. Logic, Mr. Logic tells me it ain't never gonna happen
And then my defenses say, well, I didn't want it anyway
But you know sometimes I'm a liar

[Pre-Chorus]
Could you ever want me to love you?
Could you ever want me to care?
Disregard my nervousness
Ple-please ignore my vacant stares

[Chorus]
Just what I've been through
Is nothing like where I'm going to
Give me some sign to pursue a promise, a promise
And you're unhappy and you're unhappy
And you're unhappy and you're unhappy, this is only a guess
