I wish you were here
Sitting by my side
I really need a smile
You've no idea how many times I've cried
You would say something
Just to make me laugh
You'd hold me right beside you
Just like a photograph
I'm kind of scared and in the dark
I need you to find me
Because you're my spark
You ignite this light inside of me
That grows and grows
It's like a fire
That'll never die
Your eyes would find me
Make sure I'm secure
You'll say something
To let me feel ensured
Things keep crashing down around me
I suddenly can't breathe
But I know that you care
And that's all I need
You'll carry me now
Through the fire
Even after
My flames tire
I really wish you were here
To make me feel that way
But, until I see you again
I'll be waiting for that day
I'll watch every horizon
Every sunset
I'll read these words
So I'll never forget
Why I need you
