The Need Lyrics

The Need

Tom Shapiro/David Malloy/Sunny Russ

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 wanna be

It wasn't love I was running from

I was just afarid to need someone

Now it feels so good to feel

The need to trust somebody

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 shamed to lean on me

The honesty kept drawing us closer

And I saw how easy reaching out could be

You've shown me love's not about control

Holding you is how I let go

And it feels so good to feel...

The need to trust somebody

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.
