Love Me While I'm Here
Love Me While Shadows Dance: Todd Mankin's Tale of Fleeting Romance
Lyrics
You're standing at my feet
You are physically close to me.
But the smokey room and neon lights make it hard to see
The environment, filled with smoke and neon lights, makes it difficult to perceive clearly.
You've been here a time or two before
You have visited this situation before.
And I'll break your heart like I did last time I walked out of your door
I will hurt you emotionally, just like I did when I left you previously.
So don't tell me that you love me
Don't express love for me.
My heart don't seem to care
My emotions don't respond, or I am emotionally distant.
The dark tonight brought lonely back and you were there
Tonight's darkness has brought loneliness, and you were there.
I'll ride the sunrise in the morning and leave you laying there
I will leave in the morning without emotional attachment.
So don't tell me that you love me but love me while I'm here
Don't proclaim love, but cherish the time we have now.
The face of an angel
You have an angelic appearance.
But your talk is cheap
Your words lack sincerity or depth.
With those bedroom eyes you can't disguise what's hiding underneath
Your seductive gaze cannot hide the true nature underneath.
You're hard to handle but easy to keep
You are challenging to deal with but easy to keep around.
Stringing you along till you realize I'm too far out of reach
I'm leading you on until you realize I'm unattainable.
So don't tell me that you love me
Don't express love for me.
My heart don't seem to care
My emotions remain unresponsive.
The dark tonight brought lonely back And you were there
Loneliness returns tonight, and you were there.
I'll ride the sunrise in the morning and leave you laying there
I will depart with the morning sun, leaving you behind.
So don't tell me that you love me
Don't proclaim love for me.
But love me while I'm here
Cherish the moments while I am still present.
Oh yeah
Expresses affirmation or emphasis.
While I'm here
During the time I am here.
Don't tell me that you love me my heart don't seem to care
Don't declare love; my emotions remain unresponsive.
The dark tonight brought lonely back and you were there
Loneliness returns tonight, and you were there.
I'll ride the sunrise in the morning and leave you laying there
I will depart with the morning sun, leaving you behind.
So don't tell me that you love me
Don't express love for me.
But love me while I'm here
Cherish the moments while I am still present.
Love me while I'm here
Expresses the request to be loved during the current presence.
