Prove It To Me

It's been a long 7 years
since I felt anything but pain.
The one who came before
was with me for fun and games.
I gave him love at my own expense.
He gave me tears and scars in exchange.

It comes naturally to me to be cynical of love.
When you have nothing to compare it to.

So please don't prove me wrong,
when I say you captured my heart.
I need you to stay tonight.
Just hold me in your arms,
and tell me everything with be alright.

Tell me you feel for me,
That's all I need.
Say to me that I matter,
That's all I need.

I don't know how you did it,
but frankly, I don't care which way you chose.
You saved me by making me fall from the shelf I was mending on,
and into something that makes me feel alive.

Please prove me right
when I say that I captured your heart
Don't worry, I'm staying the night.
Let me hold you in my arms
and tell you that everything will be alright.

I feel for you,
I'm what you need.
You matter to me
I'm what you need.
