All these years I have pretended

I only cared about myself and no one else

Never asked anybody for help

I’m losing my way – show me some light

So hear me calling out to you 

With my restless soul and my heart in my hand

And all these miles that separate

And all these tears that make me hate

Are traps that turn me away from what is true

That I need you now (And I see it now)

Never thought I’d say

That I need you now (But I see it now)

Never thought my life would lead

to this day when I would need

I need you now 

All my clothes are packed away

Just maybe you will come to take me home

My suitcase is carrying all my hopes

And a picture so clear of who I am

When I said goodbye to you that day

I held my tears until I walked away

Looked back and saw you through the glass

That would separate me from my past

Now I wish I’d have had the strength to say

That I need you now

Never thought I would  (Always knew where I stood)

But I need you now

Never thought that I could leave

Never thought that I would need

I need you now

And in my mother’s tears 

And through my brother’s fears

I clearly see myself

A vision of my past

And in my father’s eyes 

I stand to face the world – alone

Never though my life would pass

Beyond the greener grass

Ooh, I need you now

Never thought my world could be

So empty and lonely

Never thought my world pass

Beyond the greener grass
