The only truth
Harder to swallow
Than the fact that none of this is within
My control
Ooooh
Is letting go
Of the notion
That I can do this all
On my own
Ooooh
I hate it
I hate it
I've spent all my life trying to be
The exception to a rule
But it turns out
I need you
To be soft
I need you
To be strong
I need you to stay calm now
And I don't know for how long
I need you to laugh
When things get absurd
I need you to dig down deep and use
Only your kindest words
When I get lost
I need you
To find me
And when you do
I need you
To remind me
That you need me, too
Just like I need you
Oh, you need me, too
Just like I need
You
The only advice
Harder to follow
Than it's best to sit here and just
Wait this out
Ooooh
Is I'm supposed to see a gift in the mess here
And keep my faith louder
Than my doubt
Ooooh
I hate it, I hate it
And I'm tired of fighting the tears that come
As one more thread's undone
So I'll say it
I need you
To be soft
I need you
To be strong
I need you to stay calm now
And I don't know for how long
I need you to laugh
When things get absurd
I need you to dig down deep and use
Only your kindest words
When I get lost
I need you
To find me
And when you do
I need you
To remind me
That you need me, too
Just like I need you
Oh, you need me, too
Just like I need
You
I Need
You
I Need
You
I Need You
I need you
To be soft
I need you
To be strong
I need you to stay calm now
And I don't know for how long
I need you to laugh
When things get absurd
I need you to dig down deep and use
Only your kindest words
When I get lost
I need you
To find me
And when you do
I need you
To remind me
That you need me, too
Just like I need you
Oh, you need me, too
Just like I need
You
