"The Deepest"

A love I'd never known before
And haven't known since
That met me down the road
When I was at a distance

When I was at my darkest
You loved me the deepest
When I was at my darkest
You loved me the deepest

A love, unconditional
That hasn't been since
It met me down the road
When I met it with resistance

When all was at its darkest
You loved me the deepest
When all was at its darkest
You loved me the deepest

Now love only comes
With the least of persistence
When I take up a mask
When I'm dealing in opposites

And I've tried
Tried till it hurts
Tried giving it up
It only gets worse

I've asked for a hand
I've rejected the same
I've given the finger
Pointed the blame

Because I'm sick and tired
Of the prayers that lasted years
Of the actions carried out
When they didn't reach your ears

Yeah I'm sick and tired
Of trying to purchase love
Charming and haggling
When it still won't come

So what am I gonna say
On that day
When no one believes me
Will you take my case?
When my account only sounds
Like a list of complaints
When no one believes me
Will you take my case?

All of the world is telling me
That love is earned
If you want it, have to give it
All of the world is selling me
Love is earned
But I don't believe it, cause I've seen it

When I was at my darkest
You loved me the deepest
When I was at my darkest
You loved me the deepest
