I'd Do Anything

You looked at me

And asked me

What use

Is this love

What are we holding on for

You asked me

To give it up

But I don't know how

I wanted to tell you

I needed you to know

I never had this before

Can't let it go

 

If you knew

What would you do

If you knew

I was in love with you

How many nights

Have I turned you away

How many words

Did I not say

When you needed to hear them most

How many times

Did I break your heart

Leave it in pieces

At your feet

I just needed

I need you

And I can't take another day

Without you

 

You know now

You heard me

Saw the truth

In my eyes

You watched me cry

Die inside

Every night

You didn't call back

Didn't reach back for me

I need you

I can't sleep

It's 2 am

And I can't take it anymore

How long will I last

Before I end up at your back door

Like so many times

Before

So please

Hear me

I need you

I'm in love with you

And it's time 

You knew

I'd do anything for you
