a lifetime in solitude
never found the one I could give my love to
then the stars in my sky changed
and into my barren world, you my love, came

I need you to want me
I need you to need me
how I need you to love me
how I need you to need me

I've never been so sure
of the way I feel and with whom I want to be
but I'm so unsure
of the way you feel and if you really need me

I need you to want me
I need you to need me
how I need you to love me
how I need you to need me

I'm holding on
to the hope that someday you will need me
I'm hanging on
to the chance that someday you could love me

I've come to see
nothing in this world means much of anything
if I could just be loved by her
I could face the fact that nothing in the end matters

I need you to want me
I need you to need me
how I need you to love me
how I need you to need me

will you ever need me
