Why, why are you still with me?
Didn't you see what I've done?
In my shame I want to run and hide myself
But it's here I see the truth
I don't deserve you

But I need you to love me, and I
I won't keep my heart from you this time
So I'll stop this pretending that I can
Somehow deserve what I already have
I need you to love me

I, I have wasted so much time
Pushing you away from me
I just never saw how much you could cherish me
Cuz you're a God who has all things
And still you want me

But I need you to love me, and I
I won't keep my heart from you this time
So I'll stop this pretending that I can
Somehow deserve what I already have
I need you to love me

Your love makes me forget what I have been
Your love makes me see who I really am
Your love makes me forget what I have been

But I need you to love me, and I
I won't keep my heart from you this time
So I'll stop this pretending that I can
Somehow deserve what I already have
I need you to love me
