You Give Me Something
05. James Morrison Lyrics

You want to stay with me in the morning
You desire to continue our relationship by staying with me even when the morning comes

You only hold me when I sleep
You only show love to me when I'm asleep, leaving me doubtful of your affection

I was meant to tread the water
I was supposed to play it safe in this relationship

Now I've gotten in too deep
I have gone too far and invested too much in this relationship

For every piece of me that wants you
Although I have feelings for you, I am also conflicted

Another piece backs away
I also have doubts and fears about our relationship

'Cause you give me something
Because of the intangible feeling you offer me

That makes me scared, alright
It makes me apprehensive yet excited at the same time

This could be nothing
This possibility of a relationship might not materialize

But I'm willing to give it a try
Despite the uncertainty, I am ready to take a chance on this relationship

Please give me something
I plead with you to give me a reason to continue investing in our relationship

'Cause someday I might know my heart
I hope that someday I will finally understand my true feelings about you

You already waited up for hours
You have spent your time waiting for me, indicating that you truly care

Just to spend a little time alone with me
You treasure spending quality time with me

And I can say I've never bought you flowers
I feel guilty for not expressing my love for you through meaningful gestures

I can't work out what they mean
I cannot figure out how to show you how much I care about you

I never thought that I'd love someone
I never expected to have such intense feelings for someone as I do for you

That was someone else's dream
I did not think I would love someone who wasn't intended for me

But it might me a second too late
If I wait too long to confess my true feelings to you, it could be too late

And the words I could never say
I struggle to express my feelings in words

Gonna come out anyway
At some point, my true feelings will come to the surface

Know my heart, know my heart, know my heart
I yearn to understand my true feelings about you and our relationship
