I cried a tear You wiped it dry I was confused You cleared my mind I sold my soul You bought it back for me You held me up You gave me dignity Somehow you needed me You gave me strength To stand alone again To face the world Out on my own again You put me high Upon a pedestal So high that I could almost see eternity You needed me You needed me I can't believe it's you I can't believe it's true I needed you And you were there And I'll never leave, why should I leave? I'd be a fool I finally found someone who really cares (You needed me) You held my hand When it was cold When I was lost You took me home You gave me love When I was at the end And turned my lies Back into truth again You even called me 'friend' You gave me strength To stand alone again To face the world Out on my own again You put me high Upon a pedestal So high that I could almost see eternity You needed me You needed me You needed me You needed me Oh, yes, you needed me You needed me
