Lyrics
Nobody to Love
Verse 1
You see somethin' in me
I don't think it's there
What do you see?
And why don't I care?
Much less believe
You could be someone stupid enough to be
Falling in love with me
I'm damaged; I'm broken
I got a hole in place of a space that could bleed
You got an honest face - hopeful and open
Let go - aint no savin' me
Hook
Don't love me 'cause I aint nobody to love
Don't touch me because everything I touch, I break
Don't trust me, trust me, I aint nobody to trust
Don't love me, baby, 'cause I aint nobody to love
Okay - okay
Verse 2
Wantin aint the same as needin'
I'll be the rock that you break yourself against
Baby, please believe me
I'ma let you down in the end
Aint a question of whether - It's a question of when
Hook
Bridge
Promise you there's gon' be
Promises I can't keep
You're hoping that you'll loosen my armor
Just remember I warned ya
You'd end up hating me
Hook
