Lyrics
Starin' at the phone with no sense of place or time
Just need a hit, to get me back on my feet
And I'm sitting home alone with no rest or reason why
Can't seem to fit where our stories end with where they meet
(Steal myself away,
Just to see my face
To learn myself
To change my ways)
Funny all this shit inside my head comes and goes
When I think, and I think too much
And how it stings when all the things I should've said
Stayed inside, all along, with all I could have been.
(My heart needs to feel
Alive again
All I need to hear)
CHORUS
What about 'I love you'?
Where is my 'I need you'?
Can I get three words
When I need need them the most?
Can't you see 'I miss you'
Could have been 'I'd kiss you'
If you could say three words
When I need them the most?
What more can I say
You wan't me to go away
But I can't be like this
One more, no rage
The mirror starts to fade
And I can't live like this
X2
CHORUS
CHORUS
Say that 'you'll always care'
Or that you'll 'be right here'
Any old three words
When I need them the most
'I love you'
'I need you'
Three words
