If You'll Love Me For Me

by january friend   Sep 6, 2008


They're all around us
You may look, but you do not see
They stand right next to you
Wrapped in blankets on the street

They understand this world
But won't ever tell you, that's a shame
You wouldn't understand anyway
You think life is just a game

You go through school
Complaining the whole way
But they don't
They cherish every day

When you're done
You get tossed into life
And now you feel lost
But I won't ask why

I already know
Because I'm one of them
I sit back and watch
Unlike you, I don't pretend

I know exactly who you are
By the way you act and how you talk
I can't get enough, I need to know more
So come with me, let's take a walk

What I don't know
Is what you think of me
But do I even want to know
Well, yes I do, secretly

I want to know everything about you
Other than what everyone sees
I want to know your secrets
I want to know your dreams

Give me a chance
I'll show you what I can be
I'll love you for you
If you'll love me for me
