You could give me what I need
You could fill up what’s gone in me
Never got what I needed
And you got so much
So I’ll take what you’re givin’
And I’ll take a little bit more
I never was the type
To let a hostage go
There’s promises and rules
But everything bends
I don’t want to break you
But I need to know if I still can
Gonna push all your buttons
Gonna push you to the edge
Gonna push your back against the wall
Til I feel you pushing back
I need you to need me
And I need it to show
I just gotta push it
Until you know
I’ll say that I’m sorry
Cuz I know that you are
Sorry it’s complicated
That I have to push so hard
Tell me
You need
And tell me
You’ll be
The one that I want to deserve, that I’m worthy
Of everything you offer to me
And the words that you speak don’t depend on my needs
That you offer yourself
Freely
I know this scares you
Out loud is too much
A promise to be careful
Is that enough?
I know I love you
I know that’s the truth
But everything I ever want
I lose
There’s promises and rules
And everything bends
I don’t want to break you
But I need to know if I still can
I need to know if I still can
I need to know if I still can
I need to know that I still can
