You Give Me Something
Morrison James Lyrics

You only stay with me in the morning
You only give your time to me when it is easy or convenient for you.

You only hold me when I sleep
You only show physical affection when I am vulnerable or unaware.

And I was meant to tread the water
I was meant to keep my distance and avoid emotional attachment.

But now I've gotten in too deep
But I have already become emotionally invested and it feels overwhelming.

For every piece of me that wants you, mm-mm
Part of me desires a connection with you, but I am conflicted.

Another piece backs away
Another part of me resists because it is unsure or afraid.

'Cause you give me something
Because you provide something that I find appealing or attractive.

That makes me scared, alright
That simultaneously excites and frightens me.

This could be nothing
This new connection may not develop into anything more substantial.

But I'm willing to give it a try
I am open and willing to explore this possibility further.

Please give me something
Please continue to show me what makes you special or unique.

'Cause someday I might know my heart
Someday I may have a better understanding of my own desires and emotions.

You only waited up for hours
You only stayed awake for me when you could have been resting.

Just to spend a little time alone with me
Just to have a brief moment of intimacy and connection.

And I can say I've never bought you flowers
And I am ashamed that I have not shown you enough appreciation or affection.

Mmm-mm, I can't work out what they mean
I am unable to fully understand or interpret the intentions behind your actions.

I never thought that I'd love someone
I never expected to feel such strong emotions for another person.

That was someone else's dream
That was already desired or claimed by someone else.

But it might me a second too late
But I may realize these feelings too late, when the opportunity has passed.

And the words that I could never say
And the words that were difficult or painful to express.

Are gonna come out anyway
Will eventually be revealed or expressed despite my attempts to suppress them.

Know my heart, know my heart, know my heart
Understand my true feelings and desires.
