[Verse 1]
It's hard to understand why you don't go
Trying to figure out how you love me so
The one who breaks your heart
The hands that let you fall
The man you're holding on to holds your forgiving arms
I've been thinking I should sleep, it'll be easier
And you'll find somebody who loves you better
The one I can't let go, any little piece of her
The girl I fell in love with I never will deserve
[Chorus]
Late at night, while I watch you sleep
Breathe you in out, and I see I need you
But I see you, I'm no good for you
I'd leave, but I just can't do it
So I go on, knowing I'm wrong to you
I need you
[Verse 2]
I keep pushing you away, but it nevеr works
You just find a way back in, even when it hurts
Thе man that I should be, the one you see in me
Would never let you end up here, he'd set you free
[Chorus]
But late at night, when I hold you close
I breathe in, and you don't notice I need you
But I see I'm no good for you
I'd leave, but I just can't do it
So I go on, knowing I'm wrong to you
[Bridge]
But I've gave you up
I've let you go
Every time I end up on my knees at your door
I can't believe you're standing next to me
And as I start to pull away, you whisper
[Chorus]
"Boy, can't you see that I need you, that I need you?
Can't you see that I'm in love with you?
Well, I'd leave but I just can't do it
So I go on, even if it's wrong to choose
I need you"
