Analysis of The God of tears
Say that you want my love
I love you so much I would
All you need do is ask
Say that you want my soul
I love you so much I could
All you need do is call
Say that you want my voice
I love you so much I should
All you need do is pray
Say that you want my light
I love you so much I might
All you need do is breath
Say that you want my energy
I love you so much I may
All you need do is meditate
