I Need You To Love Me

BarlowGirl sing tons of great songs. This one in particular has struck a chord with me the last couple weeks, so I thought I’d share. I might do this often because I’m finding more artists who have songs that “speak to me”. Hope you enjoy them. This one is from the album Another Journal Entry. Lyrics follow.

"Why? Why are You still here with me?

Didn’t You see what I’ve done?

In my shame I want to run,

And hide myself.

Yeah, 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.

And 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 You

Could cherish me.

Cause You’re a God who has all things, 

And still You want me.

And I need You to love me,

And I, I won’t keep my heart from You this time.

And I’ll stop this pretending that I can,

Somehow deserve what I already have

Yeah, ye-ea-eah

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, oh-oh.

And I need You to love me, yeah

I need You to love me, ye-ea-eah!

And I’ll stop this pretending that I can,

Somehow deserve what I already have

Somehow deserve what I already have

I need You to love me, yeah

I need You to… 

oh oh oh oh oh (x4)

Love me, love me, yah"
