I need you

are you ready to listen because I'm ready to tell you something
I need you,
but all this time I have been pretending to NOT like you
it's what do, it's what I do
then maybe your will like me more
if you think I don't need you
it's so true it's so true
but here I am telling you the basic truth
I need you desperately I do
so now I said it, you know how I feel,
you can tell me now you feel differently for me
I know you do, I know you do
every time I speak my truth,
every time I become vulnerable
it's something new, something new
you could take advantage of me knowing I need you,
I wouldn't go
it's so true, it's so true

the armor is off, I have no other shields,
now I'm scared of what you might do
some don't like to be needed or wanted
it makes them scared they might fail
I've failed so many times in my life,
but if I fail again, I hope it's with you
and just so you know,
I wish I didn't need anyone
but I know I'm not enough
I want a guide along the path
I want to listen and do what I'm told sometimes
I want to be heard and understood other times
just like anyone else would
cuz I'm not enough all alone
but I'm more than enough sharing the thrown

if this information has made you see me differently
don't be shy, speak your utmost peace
I'll be on my way if you tell me that today
I'll know better for the next time not to share my needs
but it's true, it's very true
I need you.
