Love Poem: John Mayer

John Mayer

Part of you knows that
only part of you has
truly loved anything.

You've lost all pride,
you don't even try to hide
the absense of whats missing.

You're kept warm at night
by girls that only like
you when you sing.

But when you've lost your voice
and don't have any other choice 
but
silence

where are they now? Where are they now?
Nowhere around, nowhere around.

See, you begged your way into my garden
but I won't let you break out when it rains,
cuz I know what it feels like to need you.
I don't want you to need me all over again,
I dont want you to stop in the first place
cuz I know what it feels like to need you.

You warned me, you don't trust yourself,
and you're not worth my pain, 
you don't trust yourself...
but I do.

Everyone 
needs to be loved
and you're no exception.
Except you are, you are, you are.

She needs to give more than she gets,
you need love with no end.

I don't want you to 
know what it feels like to 
not race to my door.
Don't steer clear,
I'd only die if I didn't see you there...
You're burned up by my atmosphere,
but you see: I'm slain by...yours.

Everyone
needs to be loved
now and then
and you're no exception.
Except... you... are.

Not now and then,
you need constant
love and affection
with no end
with no end
with no...
