Love Me Like You Do
Virtue! Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Bringing You my mistakes,
Make me something new.
Look inside my heart,
It's tearing me apart,
No way I can make it up to You.
(If I turn around) and see You there again.
When my world is crumblin',
When my feet is stumblin',
The very thought is humblin',
You love me like You do.
How can I be worth it,
I'm so far from perfect;
I know I don't deserve this,
But You love me like I do,
When You love me like You do.
Hard for me to know why You love me so,
Tell me when I act like this,
Why You stick around?
I'm in need of You,
One thing Lord is true,
I really never meant to let You down.
(If I run away) I pray Your tender voice will call my name.
(If I turn around) and see You smile again.
When my world is crumblin',
When my feet is stumblin',
The very thought is humblin',
You love me like You do.
How can I be worth it,
I'm so far from perfect;
I know I don't deserve this,
But You love me like I do,
When You love me like You do,
When You love me like You do.
Ooh la, la, la, la.
Ooh la, la, la.
Ooh la, la, la, la.
Ooh la, la, la, la.
Ooh la, la, la.
Ooh la, la, la, la.
When my world is crumblin',
When my feet is stumblin',
The very thought is humblin',
You love me like You do.
How can I be worth it,
I'm so far from perfect;
I know I don't deserve this,
But You love me like You do.
When my world is crumblin',
When my feet is stumblin',
The very thought is humblin',
You love me like You do.
How can I be worth it,
I'm so far from perfect;
I know I don't deserve this,
But You love me like I do,
When You love me like You do.
I know I don't deserve this,
But You love me like I do,
When You love me like You do,
When You love me like You do.
