When? Lyrics

When's somebody gonna love me?

For what I am and what I'm not

Someone not so high above me

They can look me in the eye and see my heart

When's somebody gonna touch me?

And feel the weakness in my bones

Someone strong enough to hold me

But give me freedom, give me room to be alone

I came to the table

With all that I had left

I let it ride, I let it ride

And though my hand was weak I still had aces up my sleeves

I let it ride, I let it ride

I let it ride

When's somebody gonna notice?

And recognize the scars I hide

I'm lost at sea and I can't float this

Anymore, oh lord, my arms are tired

And I come to the table

With all that I have left

I let it ride, I let it ride

And though my hand is weak I still have aces up my sleeves

I let it ride, I let it ride

Cause I've been having a hard time

Tripping over myself

Head down and so afraid to need somebody else

I've been lost for a long time

I'm breaking out of this hell

Eyes wide and hoping for a new story to tell

A new hand to be dealt

A new lover to call my bluff

So when's somebody gonna love me?

Not a mother or a friend

When I'm no longer feeling lucky

They'll take my heart collateral and go all in

Cuz I come to the table

With all that I have left

I'll let it ride, I'll let it ride

And though my hand is weak I still got aces up my sleeves

I'll let it ride, I'll let it ride

I'll let it ride

Ooooh

I'll let it ride
