You gave me awful years, in your defense
And yes I'm bad-tempered and I never ask
My mind is all in it, never stops
The thoughts flowing nonstop
And yes I'm very nice but yet trouble
No I never hear my heart crumble
And I'm strong, I'm very strong
And I'ma keep on writing songs

I needed you to wave goodbye
I needed us to share a cry
I needed you to confess your crimes
But I forever cling to our old times

You gave me your "haven't got", give me your fears
And I cherish this, your memory
And I don't really know how to speak
I'm the aftermath of you, I'm your pieces
And you left me on the doorstep
All alone against the rain
I had to fight to understand
I had to bleed before I'd get this

I needed you to wave goodbye
I needed us to share a cry
I needed you to confess your crimes
But I forever cling to our old times

(Love) love me for what I am, for what I am, boy
(Love) I need you to love me still, love me still
(Love) love me, love me real, love me for what I am, honey

(Love) oh boy, love me for what I am, for what I am, boy
(Love) I need you to love me still, love me still
(Love) love me, love me real, love me for what I am, honey

(Love) oh boy, love me for what I am, for what I am, boy
(Love) I need you to love me still, love me still
(Love) love me, love me real, love me for what I am, honey

I needed you to wave goodbye
I needed us to share a cry
I needed you to confess your crimes
But I forever cling to our old times

I needed you to wave goodbye
I needed us to share a cry
I needed you to confess your crimes
But I forever cling to our old time, time
