The Need

I spent my life trying to avoid it

I always said it was wrong for me

A sign of weakness, that's how I saw it

And weak was something I didn't want to be

It wasn't love I was runnin' from

I was just afraid to need someone

Now it feels so good to feel

The need to trust somebody

And open up my heart

The need to share my secrets

Down to the deepest part

I can give, I can take

Now it's okay to say

That sometimes I feel weak

When you're the reason for the need

You had the strength to cry on my shoulder

You weren't ashamed to lean on me

The honesty kept drawing us closer

And I saw how easy reaching out could be

You showed me love's not about control

Holding on to you is how I let go

And it feels so good to feel

The need to trust somebody

And open up my heart

The need to share my secrets

Down to the deepest part

I can give, I can take

Now it's okay to say

That sometimes I feel weak

When you're the reason for

The need to trust somebody

And open up my heart

The need to share my secrets

Down to the deepest part

I can give, I can take

Now it's okay to say

That sometimes I feel weak

When you're the reason for

The reason for the need
