My December

Maybe no one told you
There is strength in your tears
And so toi fight to keep from pouring out
But what if toi unlock the gate that keeps your secret soul
Do toi think there's enough to that toi might drown?

[Chorus]
If no one will listen
If toi decide to speak
If no one is left
Standing after the bombs explode
If no one wants to look at you
For what toi really are
I will be here still

No one can tell toi where toi alone must go
There's no telling what toi will find there
And, God, I know the fear that eats away at your bones
Screaming every step, "Just stay here"

[Chorus]

If toi find your fists are raw and red from beating yourself down
If your legs have donné out under the weight
If toi find that you've been settling for a world of gray
So toi wouldn't have to face down your own hate

[Chorus x2]

I know that toi need it
I know that toi don't need me to repeat it
But everything I have to give
I'll give to you
It's not like we planned it
toi tried to stay, but toi could not stand it
To see toi shut down so slow
As though it was an easy thing to do

Listen when
All of this around us will fall over
I'll tell toi what we're gonna do, yeah
toi will shelter me, my love
And I, I will shelter you

I left toi heartbroken
But not until those very words were spoken
Has anybody ever made such a fool outta you?
It's so hard to believe it
Even as our eyes do see it
The very things that made toi live are killing you

Listen when all of this around us is fallin' over
I tell toi what we're gonna do, yeah
toi will shelter me, my love
And I, I will shelter you, yeah

We will shelter you
I will shelter you, oh
We will pray with you
We will pray with you, shelter you
We will shelter you
We'll shelter you

Listen when
All of this around us is fallin' down
We're gonna shelter you

What toi want
Baby I got it, mmm
What toi need, toi know I got it
All I'm asking, is for a little respect when toi get home
salut baby, when toi get home
Just a little bit, mista

I ain't gonna do toi wrong, while your gone
I ain't gonna do toi wrong, cause I don't wanna
And all I want toi do for me
Is give it to me when toi get home, alright now
When toi get home, just a little bit mista

R-E-S-P-E-C-T, find out what it means to me
R-E-S-P-E-C-T, take care TCB

Nooo, a little respect

No, a little respect
Gonna say it one plus time

R-E-S-P-E-C-T, find out what it means to me
R-E-S-P-E-C-T, take care TCB

No, yeah
A little respect
