You came to me
looking for someone to hold you
looking for someone to mend you
but I don’t know if that somebody is
me and you
we both go back a long way
here I thought I knew you
but I guess that I was wrong
I could see those pleading questions in your eyes
and I convinced us that I had the answers
even as I first held your body close to mine
those doubts started creeping in
and I wonder: what do I do?
where do I go from here?
well, I don’t know anymore
how quickly I lose sight of who I am
when you’re in my life
well, I can’t see clearly
oh no
Who am I to play doctor
when I’m just a patient?
too impatient to find the answers
even as I put a brave face on for you
And though I try
to understand the things that scare you
I can’t deal with my nightmares
but I’ve got to be the one to get us through
I could see those pleading questions in your eyes
and I convinced us that I had the answers
even as I first held your body close to mine
those doubts started creeping in
and I wonder: what do I do?
Where do I go from here?
Well, I don’t know anymore
how quickly I lose sight of who I am
When you’re in my life
Well, I can’t see clearly
Oh no
And I don’t know what I need
but I know you can’t give it to me
I don’t know what I need
but I know you can’t give it to me
I don’t know what I need
but I know you can’t give it to me
I don’t know what I need
but I know you can’t give it to me
and I know you can’t give it to me
I don’t know what I need
but, ah, you can’t give it to me
I don’t know what I need
but I know you can’t give it to me
I dont' know what I need
you can’t you can’t give it to me
