you can...love me.

i watch you sit with your hands in your eyes
tired of life and tired of all the lies
maybe thinking that you want to do anything with your hands
than just dry all the tears that you cry
pick a stone and toss it in the sky
grab a gun and point it on a guy
take this sand and watch it all slip away in your hands
like good time's old habit of slipping
maybe just run, maybe just stay
hold your tongue or say what you want to say
allow yourself to be taken by the anger that is welling up inside you
or just hide it all away
be numb or feel the pain
bring the summer or brave the rain
when you look at me baby cant you see
you can do anything that you want
you can hurt me you can fool me
you can break me you can change me
you can...love me.
take it slow like an old lullabye
or you can take the boat going
to the edge of nowhere and ill follow you there
just to prove i can be as strong as you want
take your life and ill give you mine
throw me all your anger until i die
or sit on that chair and imagine it all slip away out of sight
for just a while
tell me love is nothing but a crime
tell me all, tell me all you want
i can listen to your mumblings
and carry you to your bed when you close your eyes
ill be your clown, ill be your song
ill wear a smile when you sing along
when you look at me baby cant you see
you can do anything that you want
you can hurt me you can fool me
you can break me you can change me
you can...love me.
