Camouflage

Da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da (oh)
Da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da (da-da-da, oh)

I remember so many nights in the bed alone
Wondering, could I muster the strength to exist in the bitter cold? (Cold)
But you showed up once in a while, I guess that’s alright
‘Cause I told my heart that you needed time for yourself, it’s fine

I camouflage my tears (tears)
And you wear your disguise
And ’round I go
To know that you still love me

I need to know, say that you do (to know if you still love me)
I need to know, say that you do (please)

Wear it sometimes when I tried to discern our reality, ah
Wish that I just could be somebody else if you talked to me
Kept praying inside, let him love me for who I am
Please, my Lord (please, my Lord)
But you were just somewhere that I couldn’t reach, couldn’t understand

I camouflage my tears
And you wear your disguise
And ’round I go
To know if you still love me

I (I) need (need) to (to) know, say that you do
(To know if you still love me)
I (I) need (need) to (to) know, say that you do

And oh, didn’t we swear we’d give each other everything? (Didn’t we swear?)
(Hushin’ and holdin’ our love)
Didn’t I give you all of me?
Oh, oh, oh
No, not a day goes by
No, no, no
When I don’t wonder inside
If you feel the way you used to feel
I camouflage my tears
And you wear your disguise
And ’round and ’round I go (to know if you still love me)

I need to know, say that you do (I remember so many nights)
I need to know, say that you do (I camouflaged)
(That’s all I really wanted)
I need to know, say that you do (oh, say)
That’s all I really wanted
I need to know, say that you do (I cry and cry as you laugh and laugh)
I need to know
I need to know, say that you do (I pray that you still love me)
Say that you love me (camouflage)
I cry and cry as you laugh and laugh at the question
But I need to know (oh, say)
I need to know
I need to know, say that you do (camouflage)
