Keep What I Don't Deserve - Song

Dark shadows under my eyes
it's been another sleepless night
wishing you were by my side
wishing that we wouldn't fight
You're everything I need
but still I love you the worst
If I keep holding on, can I keep what I don't deserve?
Sometimes I'm too afraid to speak
the words always come out wrong
I don't know what to do, so I just keep holding on,
but I'm so afraid...

If I make one more mistake
will it all break and fall away
if I keep screwing up
could you still love me the same?
If I'm never more than this
or if I just keep getting worse
can I keep holding on to your love
can I keep what I don't deserve?

Another day of silence
a cold chill in the air
I feel the absence of your touch
and wonder if you care
Why does it hurt so much to love you
to know I can't do anything right
it keeps my mind so busy
and I toss and turn at night
Sometimes I'm too afraid to keep trying
when all my actions are wrong
I don't know what to do, so I just keep holding on
but I'm so afraid...

If I make one more mistake
will it all break and fall away
if I keep screwing up
could you still love me the same?
If I'm never more than this
or if I just keep getting worse
can I keep holding on to your love
can I keep what I don't deserve?

Show me how to love you better,
show me how to make you stay
tell me what to do to keep you
so you keep loving me this way
I'm so afraid...

If I make on more mistake
will it all break and fall away
if I keep screwing up
could you still love me the same?
If I'm never more than this
or if I just keep getting worse
can I keep holding on to your love
can I keep what I don't deserve?
