. . . .

There's so much breaking up
Folks who won't fall in love
Put up shelfs ,Guard themselves
Build walls

It makes me cry sometimes
'Cause people live lonely lives
Don't wanna try
They don't want to live at all

But I'm not gonna be afraid
To give up my heart that way
Cause I need you
I need you by my side

I'm not gonna say I'm strong
Out here in this world alone
I need you
I need you by my side

And when you find someone
Someone you really love
Makes life easier to bare

But some folks live all alone
Shut themselves in at home
They never find out
What love's all about
'Cause they're scared

But I'm not gonna be afraid
To give up my heart that way
Cause I need you
I need you by my side

I'm not gonna say I'm strong
Out here in this world alone
I need you
I need you by my side
'Cause I need you,
I need you by my side
