She Needs Me.
A simple song I wrote for my mate.
I'm here because she needs me.
She's the only one who can ever see.
What makes the real me.
If I'm lying, then I'm dying.
If I'm dying then I'm crying.
If I'm dying and I'm crying, it's because I know.
That I can't go.
I'm standing on the edge of reality.
Listening for the sound of her calling me
Every time I hear her saying my name,
I smile because it's always the same.
She still needs me.
Which means I'm still free
From the horrors of history
I feel the teardrops falling like rain
As I embrace her pain
Because I know without me
She would be
An age old tragedy
Lost in misery
She needs me
To take her away from the misery
Of a tragic history
We walk along the road
as if no one knows
who we really are
while we're watching everyone pass in their fancy cars
She still needs me.
If I'm lying then I'm dying
If I'm dying then I'm crying
Cause I lost the one
who provides my heart,
with more light than the sun
I can feel her laying here next to me.
All I want to do is reach out and pull her near
let her know, there's nothing she should fear
I just want to make her see
That I know how much she needs me
I jerk awake in the middle of the night
asking myself "Is she all right?"
When I turn my head,
and see her laying in my bed.
All I can say
is "thank god she's ok."
There are times when I wake up
Reaching out to grab her hand.
Feeling afraid that she doesn't want me to be her man
But whenever I tell her my fears
She just reaches out to cup my cheek holding back tears,
And whispers softly to me "Everything's going to be ok.
No one's ever going to take me away."
When she says that all I manage to say is "Ok."
She doesn't realize just how much I need her.
Because I'm the one she thinks is unstoppable.
I don't let myself appear anything the but able
To take away all her fears.
Hopefully for the rest of our years
I brush away her tears
I push away her fears
and take her in my arms
never letting anyone or anything cause her harm
Even as she ignores so many others charm
She stares at me, with love in her eye
And all my fears fade and die.
Because she needs me
And I'll always be
Here for the rest of eternity
My heart filled with love
Letting me soar above
This painful reality.
All because she needs me
