What You Need

Countless times, we 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, 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 almost admitting
It's not good enough to just be your friend
But deep down I know you only miss me
'Cause 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

But 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 really figure out what you need?
I wish I could have been the person you need
