Love doesn't live here anymore
So how come you get to just waltz into my life and make love come back
I'm afraid it won't last, you have me looking for the next exit
I can't help it if I trained myself to be numb after my love was taken for granted the last time I gave it away
I want this
Its different this time
But I said that the last time
All this time I thought I was teaching myself to love myself
But I've built a wall instead
Guarded like the white house I don't want you here
But I need you
I need you to love me more than I love myself
And god damn do I love myself
Won't you help me put this wall down
But only if you promise to stay
I don't think I could handle another let down
