Insecurities seem to plague me from time to time
They wake me from intoxicating slumber
Trust just isn't what it used to be
It's lost the comfort it used to bring
I've been hurt a few times
Trusted words and actions that were just for show
So I may be a bit needy my dear
I don't mean to be a bother (though I feel that I am)
If I could I'd be less jealous
I'd stop thinking thoughts I know to be untrue (sadly those thoughts were so true)
But at times I feel forgotten
Swept under the rug
If I were you I'd be proud to be with me
(I know that sounds a bit conceited…my apologies)
I'd want there to be no mistake who had my heart
(I feel that way of you but it leaves me feeling silly)
I just want to feel important to you
To feel like your heart belongs to me
Instead I read into every little thing
For the good or for the bad (it's usually for the bad)
In hopes of finding out how you feel about me
(Your words on such things are so limited dear)

I'll keep my head high in spite of my heavy heart
I keep faith you'll lighten it one of these days
When your life settles down like a lamb
Instead of the lion it's become
My arms may be bound and tied; I may not be much help
But I'm here for you whatever it's worth

I'll keep my head high in spite of my heavy heart
(I should have walked away with my head lowered down)
I keep faith you'll lighten it one of these days
(You never would have lightened my heart)
When your life settles down like a lamb
(Your life won't settle down until you seek help)
Instead of the lion it's become
(Your lion of a life only a cover for your lies)
My arms may be bound and tied; I may not be much help
(You didn't want my help. I was just a pawn in your game)
But I'm here for you whatever it's worth
(But I was there for you whatever it's worth)
