Love Me Instead

If I needed you to be my savior

Would you stand there like a stone

If I needed you to be my lover

Could you love me

If I needed you to be my anchor

Could you balance all my weight

And when I needed you to be my lover

Could you love me

If I stretched out your trust till it broke like a wave

If I built up a wall with every brick that you laid

If I always picked the longest odds and dared you to bet

Could you love me instead

If I needed you to be my player

Could you play an honest game

And when I needed you to be my harbor

Could you meet me here

If I crossed all the lines but I’d admit no mistakes

If I threw every gift that you gave in your face

If I asked you to follow everywhere that I led

Could you love me instead

If I stretched out your trust till it broke like a wave

If I threw every gift that you gave in your face

If I always picked the longest odds and dared you to bet

Could you love me instead

If I needed you to be my savior

Could you love me instead
