"Build Me Up" lyrics

If I can be free
I know it's easier to run
Is that fair on me?
Could it be that you got stuck in someone else's dream?
You tried so hard to fight the rain
That you missed the sea

'Cause I'd rather be emotional than hurt inside
That's why I cry
Do you ever look at yourself and see the truth in your eyes?
Is it hard for you to do? Build me up
Is it hard for you to say, "Build me up?"

Forgive me, I'm not what you want me to be
But I was raised under a roof of unfinished dreams
How to love, how to trust without a fight
Finally learning how to live my own life

'Cause I'd rather be emotional than hurt inside
That's why I cry
Do you ever look at yourself and see the truth in your eyes?
Still I question why
Is it hard for you to do? Build me up
Is it hard for you to say, "Build me up?"
Is it hard for you to do? Build me up
Is it hard for you to say, "Build me up?"

Can you build me up?
Please love me
Can you be selfless?
Do you know what that means?
Am I invisible?
I'm not invincible
Please build me up
Please build me up
Can you build me up?
Please love me
Can you be selfless?
Do you notice me?
Am I invisible?
I'm not invincible
Can you build me up? (Build me up)
You're so hard to love
You're so hard to love
Can you build me up?

Can you build me up?
Can you cover me
With your open arms?
With your mother's love?
Am I asking too much?
Please set me free
I know you're lost
But what about me? (What about me?)
What about me? (What about me?)
What, what, what about me?

Love in the sunshine, love, I see
Love in the sunshine, love, I see
Love in the sunshine, love, I see
Love in the sunshine, love, I see
Love in the sunshine, love, I see
Love in the sunshine, love, I see
Love in the sunshine, love, I see
Love in the sunshine
