What You Need lyrics - Beth Crowley

 Countless times

We've said it was over

Made up our minds

We shouldn't be lovers

But I hear life has made you jaded

And the light you had is faded

And I wonder, would you still shine for me?

Just call it intuition

I have tried hard not to listen

But a voice keeps saying I'm what you need

Months go by

And it's radio silence

I'll be resigned

That your name won't pass my lips

But then you call me up one day

And my resolve just melts away

And I can't help but fall into you again

I know I have to quit

I catch myself before admitting

It's not good enough to just be your friend

But deep down

I know you only miss me

Because my face brings back your memories

Of a better time

When you felt alive

It's hard to give you up

Our best was never quite enough

We weren't supposed to last

I'm never going back

I hear life has made you jaded

And the light you had is faded

But I think you're finished shining for me

You're complacent in the dark

And now we're miles and years apart

I hope one day you finally find what you need

Why won't you figure out what you really need

I wish I could have the person you need
