Show Me

Musicians need writers and writers need musicians.

And my heart has been beaten

By a bottle of rum

And a pretty lady

Who was like a lot of fun

I think somehow

She got me love struck

And I’m  love stuck

In an iron Maiden.

So here I am

Asking you a favour

To do what you can

I need you to love me

As much as you can

I need to get used to

That feeling again.

(Chorus)

I know I felt it once before

So long ago

And please god

I’m begging you

Gotta show me once more

Cause I wanna

Share every part of love

That I know

And now I ask you

Please you gotta show me

That love glow again.

It’s getting harder

To see the things I’ve done

Can’t tell if I’m Midas

Or am I backwards

Cause sad i, M.

She’s got me pulled

Down with poison

Pulled down with pain

Locked up by an iron Maiden

Cut her chains

And let me love again.

(Chorus)

I know I felt it once before

So long ago

And please god

I’m begging you

Gotta show me once more

Cause I wanna

Share every part of love

That I know

And now I ask you

Please you gotta show me

That love glow again.

I’m not a devine A.T.M.

I’m not a personal prophet machine

I never thought my love

Would run out

So it must have

Run out on me.

If you are like me

And stuck in a yesterday

If it’s hurting

Stop reminiscing

Dead days aren’t for winning.

(Chorus)

I know I felt it once before

So long ago

And please god

I’m begging you

Gotta show me once more

Cause I wanna

Share every part of love

That I know

And now I ask you

Please you gotta show me

That love glow again.

(Bridge)

Why does love feel 

Different in the beginning 

Is it something that runs out

Something that I lose

Something that gets spent

Something borrowed and bent

I just don’t understand

Is there is something I need 

To learn about love through the pain.

I just want to know one thing

Why does lust have to be a shame

We both played the same game

Cause I love you

And you carry my name

My iron Maiden

You got to set me free again.

(Chorus)

I know I felt it once before

So long ago

And please god

I’m begging you

Gotta show me once more

Cause I wanna

Share every part of love

That I know

And now I ask you

Please you gotta show me

That love glow again.

I know I felt it once before

And I know I can love again

Maybe It’s not my fault.

My heart has been beaten by a bottle of rum

And a pretty lady

Who seemed to love 

The memories we had were all fun

To love again or should I just run,
