Story Behind The Song

I wanted to write something that was kind of desperate sounding and when I came up with the line "if ever you want to see how much I want you I'll give you everything" the song had its mood and setting. I'm pretty proud of the song's bridge, which is the breaking point of the song lyrically and musically -it totally works.

Song Description

Hmmm...if you've ever been totally, unreasonably nuts for somebody, they knew it and toyed with you because of it, then you only wanted them even more until you couldn't take it anymore and wanted it to end...ya, well - this song is for you.

Lyrics

If ever you want to see how much I want you I?ll give you everything
If ever you need to see how much I need you tell me that you
Think about me thinking of you wondering just how much I love you
I will show you once you let me through

If ever you seem to admit that you need me too I?ll hang on every word
If ever you start to see how slowly you?re killing me, and how deep a man can
Hurt. I?m falling further under every spell you?ve put me under
Don?t release me, make me cry for you ? ?cause every time you do

I don?t want to go home (3)
Alone.

If you don?t want me tell me you?re done with me, I will be alright
You?ve kept me on a leash so tell me your done with me so I can sleep

Tonight I?m ready to run from you, trying harder not to love you
I?ll be leaving once you say we?re through ? and every time you do

I don?t want to go home
Alone.

?Give me a sign ? say you don?t need me, tell me it?s over, tell me you used me, tear me apart, shout it out loud a lot, tell me that this is not a love that we have got?
