What I Need
[Verse 1]
Seems like you've got something to say
But the cat's always got your tongue
Put it off for another day
But one day it's gonna come

[Pre-Chorus]
Because you keep on holding back
I guess that we both do
And it's easier to live this lie
Than to tell the truth

[Chorus]
Oh baby, I don't wanna lose you (lose you)
Tired of living in between
Oh baby, I don't wanna lose you (lose you)
Maybe that's what I need
That's what I need
That's what I need

[Verse 2]
Driving round on the empty streets
Staying out till a quarter to four
Guess I ran out of places to be
But I can't go home anymore

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause when I see your face
It's gonna be the last time I do
And it's easier to live this lie
Than to tell the truth

[Chorus]
Oh baby, I don't wanna lose you
Tired of living in between
Oh baby, I don't wanna lose you
Maybe that's what I need
That's what I need
That's what I need
That's what I need
That's what I need

[Instrumental Break]

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause when I speak your name
It's gonna be the last time I do
And it's easier to live this lie
Than to tell the truth

[Chorus]
Oh baby, I don't wanna lose you
Tired of living in between
Oh baby, I don't wanna lose you
Maybe that's what I need
That's what I need
That's what I need
That's what I need
That's what I need
That's what I need
That's what I need
