It's dawn when you are darkest
I wait for the light
And I have tried my hardest
But nothing that I do makes you shine
When you're here, you are not here
I wonder where it is your mind goes
Because it's quiet
Oh, but I can't fill the silence anymore
Don't I deserve
Feeling like I'm worth
Someone who gives a damn
I don't know why
I'm giving all my time to a boy
Who won't be a man
I swore up and down that I could
But now I'm not sure that I can
Because a person has a limit
Of just how much indifference they'll stand
Don't I deserve
Feeling like I'm worth
Someone who gives a damn
I don't know why
I'm wasting all my time on a boy
Who won't be a man
I have loved, I do love
And surely I'll just keep on loving you
But now it's from a distance
This apathy is something I can't do
Because I deserve
Knowing that I'm worth
Someone who gives a damn
And I've had enough
Of giving all my love to a boy
Who won't be a man
To a boy who won't be a man
You're a boy and I need a man
