Give Me Love by You
[Verse 1]
You told me you'd give me more effort
I look at you now, and I know you won't change
Told me that I'ma feel better
But all of these years I've just been the same
Wonder how much I can take
Wonder how much I can fake
Wonder how much I can hate you for moments I break
No point in talkin', I know you don't know what to say
I need somethin' more, yeah, I need somethin' warm
I don't know what else to tell you, but I can't keep up with this anymore
I struggle expressin' emotion, saying too little and thinkin' too much
Convincin' myself that I'm never enough
Blame it on you when I'm all out of love
It's been hurtin' me, this uncertainty
Find a flaw even in the perfect me
That's what you would do, that's what you would do
I wanna know who I even am to you
I want you to know me, I wanna feel fine
I wanna feel every emotion from you, I

[Chorus]
I wanna feel loved, wanna feel love
Can I feel love? Can I feel loved by you?
All I feel's numb, all I feel's numb
All I feel's numb
Let me know, let me know
Could you let me know?
Give me love by you
[Post-Chorus]
By you, by you, yeah, yeah
I just wanna feel loved
By you
By you

[Verse 2]
Hard to be selfless when you feel yourself less
Never been one to be selfish
Look at the walls, you built this
Never asked for help, wonder why you're helpless
I get it, I get it, I do
I don't ask for help, don't wanna hear the truth
Feel it in my soul, know it in my roots
Empty when I give, even when I lose
I see the things that you do for the people around you
I see the kindness you showed to the people that cry just like I do
I could see all of the pain that's inside you
You can give it all, all the love you have
What's the point of that if I can't love you back?
Don't you understand? I need some of that
Ivan, I wanna

[Chorus]
I wanna feel loved, wanna feel love
Can I feel love? Can I feel loved by you?
All I feel's numb, all I feel's numb
All I feel's numb
Let me know, let me know
Could you let me know?
Give me love by you
[Post-Chorus]
By you, by you, yeah, yeah
I just wanna feel loved
By you

[Chorus]
I wanna feel loved, wanna feel love (I wanna feel loved, oh)
Can I feel love? Can I feel loved by you? ('Cause all I)
All I feel's numb, all I feel's numb
All I feel's numb
Let me know, let me know
Could you let me know?
Give me love by you
