Maggie St. John - Unrequited Love Lyrics

Feeling your thorns
While you pick at my petals
You leave scars on my heart
The emptiness settles

I'd give you my life
With no exception
At least for now I've
Got your attention

It's an unrequited kind of love affair
To be or not to be
It's an unrequited, quiet love to bear
The kind the world can never see

I drink you in
My, how long it's been
Hold me tight
Hold me forever
You're the one who
Keeps me together

I need your warmth and I
Need your light
I need your love and I
Need your fight

It's an unrequited kind of love affair
To be or not to be
It's an unrequited, quiet love to bear
The kind the world can never see
The kind the world can never see
The kind the world will never see

I'm a fragile sort so
Handle with care
You've pricked me once
With just your stare

I'm a fragile sort so
Handle with care
You've pricked me once
With just your stare

It's an unrequited kind of love affair
To be or not to be
It's an unrequited, quiet love to bear
The kind the world will never see
