Love I Could Not Have

Love is like air
Or wind or sound
A gift that you get
But you can't own

I bit down
On my lip
As I sat in the pall
Of the door clicking closed
I howled
And I screamed
Running down the hall
How could you go?

I was five
When I realized
That I needed love

I was five
When I realized
That I wanted love

I was five
When I realized
That I needed love I could not have
I needed love I could not have

Today I'm scared
And my fear is strong
Feeling my chest
Turn upside down

I bite down
On my lip
As I sit in the pall
Of the door clicking closed
I moan
As I hear your heels
Echo down the hall
Why would you go?

How can I be enough
How can I be enough
Why am I not enough
How can I be enough
How can I be enough
How can I be enough
Why am I not enough
When will I be enough
