Earn Your Love

I cut the tip of my finger
With the edge of a bottle top
I blamed it on the internet
And just laughed it off
See I have a hunter
Who won't set me free
She plays me a dream
That you're not choosing me
She tells me that I have to be somebody
To earn your love

Where do I run when the chaser is flying above?
It's not enough
If she's inside of my blood
There's no cage separating us
And I know that
And I should have told you that I cannot hold you
With fire in my glove
And I don't wanna burn
To earn your love
To earn your love
To earn your love

I talk like she's new
But she's sharing my shoes
And my birthday and car
She asks me just what I have done
For deserving my place on this earth so far
And I want to protect you
From what's in my mind
So sometimes I'm tempted
To throw us aside
Before you can prove to me
That she was right
I gotta earn your love

Where do I run when the chaser is flying above?
It's not enough
If she's inside of my blood
There's no cage separating us
And I know that
And I should have told you that I cannot hold you
With fire in my glove
And I don't wanna burn
To earn your love
To earn your love
To earn your love

Don't you think that you
Should leave me now?
Don't you think I should be free by now?
Believe by now?
But where do I go
When I've reached the edge of the world
And I still haven't learned it?
How do I know who I gotta be
To you to earn it?

Where do I run when the chaser is flying above?
It's not enough
If she's inside of my blood
There's no cage separating us
And I know that
And I should have told you that I cannot hold you
With fire in my glove
And I don't wanna burn
To earn your love
To earn your love
To earn your love
