You Give Me Something

You only stay with me in the morning

You only hold me when I sleep

I was meant to tread the water

But now I’ve gotten in too deep

For every piece of me that wants you

Another piece backs away

You give me something

That makes me scared alright

This could be nothing

But I’m willing to give it a try

Please give me something

Because someday I might know my heart

You only waited up for hours

Just to spend a little time alone with me

And I can say I’ve never bought you flowers

I can’t work out what they mean

I never thought that I’d love someone

That was someone else’s dream

But it might be a second too late

And the words that I could never say

Are gonna come out anyway

~ James Morrison
