I never feel like this
I'm used to emptiness in my heart
And in my arms
You're not what I'm used to
You keep me guessing with things that you do
I hope that they're true
'Cause I'm never gonna heal my past
If I run every time it starts
So I need to know
If I'm in this alone
Come on, baby, say it first
I need to hear you say those words
If I'm all that you desire
I promise there'll be fire
I need to hear you say it first
Come on, baby, do your worst
I know you'll take me higher
So come on, darling, if you love me, say it first
I know you're right for me
But I'm waiting for everything in your world
To align with my world
I think of you while I sleep
I dream of what we could be if we grow
Together unfold
'Cause I'm never gonna heal my past
If I run every time it starts
So I need to know
If I'm in this alone
Come on, baby, say it first
I need to hear you say those words
If I'm all that you desire
I promise there'll be fire
I need to hear you say it first
Come on, baby, do your worst
I know you'll take me higher
So come on, darling, if you love me, say it first
Say it first
Come on, baby, say it first
I need to hear you say those words
If I'm all that you desire
I promise there'll be fire
I need to hear you say it first
Come on, baby, do your worst
I know you'll take me higher
So come on, darling, if you love me, say it first
