I spent my life trying to avoid it
I always said it was wrong for me
A sign of weakness that`s how I saw it
And weak was something I didn`t wanna be
It wasn`t love I was running from
I was just afarid to need someone
Now it feels so good to feel
The need to trust somebody
Open up my heart
The need to share my secrets
Down to the deepest part
I can give, I can take
Now it`s okay to say (that)
Sometimes I feel weak
When you`re the reason for...
the need.
You had the strength to cry on my shoulder
You weren`t shamed to lean on me
The honesty kept drawing us closer
And I saw how easy reaching out could be
You`ve shown me love`s not about control
Holding you is how I let go
And it feels so good to feel...
The need to trust somebody
Open up my heart
The need to share my secrets
Down to the deepest part
I can give, I can take
Now it`s okay to say (that) sometimes I feel weak
When you`re the reason for... the need.
