What is love?

Why does it seem like I'm the only one that cares? You said you loved me, but the love isn't there. See, this is what I was afraid of falling too hard, cause now I'm flat on my face with bruises and scars. 
Yes, I love you, but do you love me? It shouldn't even be a quesion, but it is and it pains me. Now that we're in this, everything changed. Yeah, times have been hard but its just not the same. 

I love you for you, flaws and all. I want you to save me, don't let me fall. I've gotten to the point where I depend on you, I'll swallow my pride and admit it; I want you to depend on me too.
But maybe it's my mistake, so I'll apologize. If you're done then say it! Don't lead me on with your petty lies.
I gave you my all and that's more than enough. I just want me to put me first; is that so tough?
