Don't Love Me Less.

O', we get lazy in the course of love,
We take for granted,
The best of us,
We let the world design our valentine,
And then we wonder why,
It's not enough,

O', I need your faith,
Need your desire,
Sacrifice your soul into my fire,
I need your heat,
To burn into me,
All your best,
Don't love me less,
And I will be,
The love you need,

O', we often claim a higher truth,
See ourselves,
In a deeper blue,
We're satisfied so it seems in generic dreams,
And in reality,
It just isn't true,

O', I need your faith,
Need your desire,
Sacrifice your soul into my fire,
I need your heat,
To burn into me,
All your best,
Don't love me less,
And I will be,
The love you need,

Why don't we say what we need to say when it needs to be said,
Why do you love me less,
Why would you love me less,

Why do we wait until the fire is gone and the love is dead,
Why do you love me less,
Why would you love me less,

O', we often hide under lovers' sheets,
Speak our minds,
With our weary feet,
We let the strife decide our rules in life,
And then we cry,
That's not our need,

O', I need your faith,
Need your desire,
Sacrifice your soul into my fire,
I need your heat,
To burn into me,
All your best,
Don't love me less,
And I will be,
The love you need,

O', I need your love,
I need your faith,
And I will be,
The love you crave,

I'm everything,
But must confess,
I want your all,
Don't love me less.
