Lyrics
You want to know what I'm doing here?
You want an explanation for my presence?
Well I thought that was perfectly clear
I believed my purpose was evident.
You want to know what I'm looking for?
You inquire about my intentions?

Seeking love and an opportunity for connection.
You know it hurts when you break me down.
Expressing the emotional pain caused when criticized.
Sometimes I wonder why I stick around
Questioning the reasons for enduring such emotional distress.

I'm strong and I can take what you say, honestly.
Asserting strength to handle honest words.
I want all of you
Expressing desire for complete emotional involvement.

But is this the part where you tear my heart out of me?
