There are needs that feed my fire
There are needs that douse my flame
There are needs to need
And no need to need at all
Sometimes hoping more than needing
Sometimes begging more than wishing
Sometimes wishing not to have to beg at all
Trying hard to be my true self
Not the self I’ll never truly know
No stranger to the stranger I’ve become
Tired of feeling like I’m feeling
Never waking
Always dreaming
Far too many days spent wishing I were numb
I don’t mean to be so needy
But I don’t need to be alone
I don’t need to feel this sorrow every day
I don’t need to pour my heart out
But I’ve no need to bite my tongue
I need the one who’d wish to steal my heart away
