Look At Me
Tholwana Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've tried to be your hero
Can't you see, don't you believe
That right now you're all I live for?
Why can't you just take my hand?
I told you that I understand
Look at me, look at me
Can't you see, don't you believe
That right now you're all I live for?
Why can't you just take my hand?
I told you that I understand
I give you my heart and you say that it's not enough
I give you my soul and it seems like you've given up
I'm giving you everything
I'm showing you all I ever
Why don't you love me like I love you?
Why don't you want me like I want you?
Why can't my dreams just come true?
Every night, try to find
You're cutting off my efforts
Tell myself that it's okay
One day I'll be your answer
If only my dreams would last
I swear I'd forget the past
I give you my heart and you say that it's not enough
I give you my soul and it seems like you've given up
I'm giving you everything
I'm showing you all I ever
Why don't you love me like I love you?
Why don't you want me like I want you?
Why can't my dreams just come true?
It's a cold, cold feeling
To be hated for what you're being
I'm alone in this world, got no one, just the hurt
Empty without you
I give you my heart and you say that it's not enough
I give you my soul and it seems like you've given up
I'm giving you everything
I'm showing you all I ever
Why don't you love me like I love you?
Why don't you want me like I want you?
Why can't my dreams just come true?
