Need

The need for contact

I need you to hug me and hold me tight;

I need you to tell me everything's going to be alright;

I've fallen for you and I don't want to get up,

I just need to know I'm not being set up.

 

I've been down this road before,

I've seen what's at stake, I know the score,

This will end in happiness or in tears,

I just need someone to see my fears.

 

I've built my walls up oh so high,

That to look up, they disappear into the sky;

Very few have been past the first ring,

And even fewer through to the ending.

 

My entire life has been a flash of pain,

So I bottle up and try to contain;

Just as I'm happy it all goes bad,

And I'm left sitting there with what once was had.

 

I figured it out, the thing I need,

I hope on the way I'm not too dirtied;

I need stability and trust,

Cause without it, my world is dust.

 

Can it be you?

Are you willing to try?

Because I know I am.

All you have to do is give me your hand
