Needed You

Rose Cousins

Yeah, I turned out fine
That's what we do
And I spent my time looking for clues

So, I became a wishing well
And I don't need water
Is what I'd tell myself

I needed you
I needed you

I hold on to my longing
Just by the tail
It drags me behind it as it tries to prevail

It's not an act of betrayal
'Cause I want it to fly
I spend so many moments asking it why

I needed you
I needed you
I needed you
I needed you

This book is so heavy
History, line by line
And I cannot read yours
And you cannot see mine
We can't pick it up for fear of cracking its spine
We're holding on for our dear lives

How can you help me
When you can't help yourself?
You're wasting your wishes
And you can't even tell

It's not an act of betrayal
'Cause you wanted to fly
You spend all of your moments
Running from what's inside

And I needed you
I needed you
I needed you
I needed you
I needed you
I needed you
I needed you
I needed you
I needed you

Yeah, I turned out fine
That's what we do
