John Mayer

Part of you knows that only part of you has truly loved anything. You've lost all pride, you don't even try to hide the absense of whats missing. You're kept warm at night by girls that only like you when you sing. But when you've lost your voice and don't have any other choice but silence where are they now? Where are they now? Nowhere around, nowhere around. See, you begged your way into my garden but I won't let you break out when it rains, cuz I know what it feels like to need you. I don't want you to need me all over again, I dont want you to stop in the first place cuz I know what it feels like to need you. You warned me, you don't trust yourself, and you're not worth my pain, you don't trust yourself... but I do. Everyone needs to be loved and you're no exception. Except you are, you are, you are. She needs to give more than she gets, you need love with no end. I don't want you to know what it feels like to not race to my door. Don't steer clear, I'd only die if I didn't see you there... You're burned up by my atmosphere, but you see: I'm slain by...yours. Everyone needs to be loved now and then and you're no exception. Except... you... are. Not now and then, you need constant love and affection with no end with no end with no...
