Won't You Love Me? Video (MV)

Splitting quarter bills just to pass the time
Spending days on end just to hear "It's fine"
But it's better in the mind, the creator's eye
And it happens all the time, blame the blind
It's a vision of division and I can't decide
If I'm living indecision and I can't abide
Or I'm hiding what is missing in a greater bind
But there's no one left to listen
I've been lied to so many different ways
Every night and every day
Hear "I'm special" like a habit, see my chance, go out and grab it
There's a pressure in the seams, this kaleidoscope of dreams
Shaking glitter in the slivers of my rusted jeans
Think it's funny? I don't know, the jokes on me
Getting shaken, never stirred in the green machine
Father took me to the barn asking what I mean

Don't leave me in the rain
We're on our road to fame (But won't you love me?)
I'm more than just my name
Stop thinking with your brain

Hey now, where'd it go?
Think I lost my head in the vertigo
And if you're coming by my place, stay the day
But won't you love me?
Hey now, where'd it go?
Did I speak my mind? Better take it slow
My shadow's getting caught up in the fray
But won't you love me?

Every slip of the tongue is a shot to the heart
Another blow to the lung, another day fell apart
I want a cleaned up, lean cut, figure to beat
Instead I look into the mirror, hang my head in defeat
Because the word on the street is I'm a likable type
And so I bend my personality to favor the hype
Why don't you open the pipe? Tell them what you mean

Don't leave me here ashamed
We're on our road to fame (But won't you love me?)
Why strap me in these chains?
Stop thinking with your brain

Hey now, where'd it go?
Think I lost my head in the vertigo
And if you're coming by my place, stay the day
But won't you love me?
Hey now, where'd it go?
Did I speak my mind? Better take it slow
My shadow's getting caught up in the fray
But won't you love me?

So run, take cover, listen to another
Keep on living undiscovered and marching to a different drummer
I can do without a lover, no reason to suffer
When I'm loving every minute of my life just like a brother
I can do what I please, getting down on my knees
Praying to a higher power that no one needs to love me
Finally free, you know what I mean?

Don't leave me in the rain
We're on our road to fame (But won't you love me?)
I'm more than just my name
Stop thinking with your brain

Hey now, where'd it go?
Think I lost my head in the vertigo
And if you're coming by my place, stay the day
But won't you love me?
Hey now, where'd it go?
Did I speak my mind? Better take it slow
My shadow's getting caught up in the fray
But won't you love me?
