A respect overload
Blocks your way to get to know me well
But I won't hear what you say
From underneath my diamond shell

I don't know why I tell you
Do you believe me when I tell you

If you don't know the way
Why am I waiting for you here
Allthogh we're close in your mind
We're separated by your fear

I don't know why I tell you
Do you believe me when I tell you
Have you got something against me
I've got nothing against you
I really wanna know you
I really wanna do

You don't leave me, but leave me alone
I don't need to be on my own
Reach for me - I cannot reach for you - no more
You don't see if I throw you a bone
I won't wait until the cowards come home
Reach for me - I really want you to
Aah that's a good girl

A respect overload
Is something I don't recommend
It might be easy to quit
But so damn hard not to start again

I don't know why I tell you
Do you believe me when I tell you
Have you got something against me
'Cause I've got nothing against you
I really wanna know you
I really wanna do
I really wanna know you
I really wanna do

You don't leave me, but leave me alone
I don't really need to be on my own
Reach for me - I cannot reach for you - no more
I don't see if you throw me a bone
I won't wait until the cowards come home
Reach for me - I really want you to

Aah that's a good girl
Oh such a good girl
Nobody told you
But I really wanted to
Out of the darkness
Into my emptiness
