Do You Love Me?

Eating pop-tarts in my room, my hotel room
thinking of all the ways I've done You wrong
trying to think of things to do that would make it up to You

And it hits me like a song,
that all you want from me
is my love

You want to hear from me
see from me
words and works made love

take it from me
lead me homeward
words and works made love

Then I see myself and what I've done
and I hang my head in shame
I want to love you the way you love me
But I know it will never be the same

You want to hear from me
see from me
words and works made love

But my past haunts me
I can't go home
my words and works aren't love

Then I see you there and what you've done
and you dry my tears of shame
You loved me first before I could love you
and my life will never be the same

You said for me
did for me
words and works made love

You did it for me
to lead me homeward
words and works now love

My past is gone by what you've done
I no longer live in shame
By your love I can love you
It is one and the same

You hear from me
see from me
words and works now love

I give you my life
for you gave me your own
words and works made love
