Anyone

(album: Love, Death & Dancing - 2020)

Ah, hey-yeah

Woke up today
In even more pain
Than the night before, mmm
Empty my head
Liquid regret
Creeping across the floor, mmm

I cannot move, you're
In the room
It's almost like I'm not there
You in the doorway
And me on the floor
Acting my age again

In the morning
I'm pinned down with ease
By the weight of a look
That you threw at me

How could I love anybody
Other than the one who
Made me feel I was somebody
And that somebody
Could be someone who could love
Anyone?
It kills me that you have to ask me
Convinced my silence is a
Choice I make to make you happy
But somebody who suffers silently ain't worthy
Of anyone

Evening falls knowing
Our slow dance is growing
Towards a critical spin
You drop, I'll catch you
But my God, I need to be caught too
But I'm too afraid, too weak to say it

Every night
I fear you'll realise
Time spent with me
Is time spent sacrificed

How could I love anybody
Other than the one who
Made me feel I was somebody
And that somebody
Could be someone who could love
Anyone?
It kills me that you have to ask me
Convinced my silence is a
Choice I make to make you happy
But somebody who suffers silently ain't worthy
Of anyone

I'm terrified of being myself
How can I accept your love
When I don't even trust myself
To love myself enough?
I'm terrified of being myself
How can I accept your love
When I don't even trust myself
To love myself enough?
I'm terrified of loving myself
How can I accept your trust
When I can't even be myself
And love us both enough?

How could I love anybody other than the
One who made me feel I was somebody
Who could be someone you love?
Be someone you love, love
How could I love anybody other than the
One who made me feel I was somebody
Who could be someone you love?
Be someone you love, love
How could I love anybody other than the
One who made me feel I was somebody
Who could be someone you love?
Be someone you love, love
