I Needed You - ArlenaZara
I held my breath every time you left
Pretended I was strong
But I was just scared
I gave you all the love I had
But you never seemed to notice I cared
I watched you drift, I watched you fade
I kept my heart in your hands
I thought our love could stand the test
But you slipped away like sand
I kept waiting for you to see
That I was here, that I was yours
I needed you
More than words could say
More than the night needs the day
I needed you
When the world felt cold
When I had no one to hold
I needed you
And you weren't there
And now I'm learning how to breathe in the air
Now I'm learning how to breathe in the air
I gave you space, I gave you time
I tried to be the best of me
But every moment without you
Was like drowning silently
I dreamed of us, I dreamed of home
But you were never really mine
I kept my love in a fragile cage
While you kept walking the line
I thought love would bring you back
But love alone can't fill the gap
I needed you
More than words could say
More than the night needs the day
I needed you
When the world felt cold
When I had no one to hold
I needed you
And you weren't there
And now I'm learning how to breathe in the air
Now I'm learning how to breathe in the air
If I could tell you just one thing
It's that I was more than a fling
I loved you deeply, I loved you true
But I needed you and you never knew
I won't hate you, I won't blame
I'll just remember how it changed
I needed you
But I'm learning to stand
I'll find my strength with my own hand
I needed you
But I'll find my way
Even when the night feels gray
I needed you
But I'm still here
And I'll heal
Through every tear
I needed you
And now I need me too
And I'll be okay
Without you
