"It's Me That You Need" lyrics

It's Me That You Need

Hey there
Look in the mirror
Are you afraid you might see me
Looking at you?
Waiting
Waiting at windows
Oh, it's me that you need
Yes, it's me
And I'm waiting for you

But I remain silent
Oh, I won't say a word
I leave you to realise
I'm the light in your world

And it's me, yes, it's me
Yes, it's me, yes, it's me
That you're needing
It's me, yes, it's me
Yes, it's me, yes, it's me
That you need
Yes, it's me, yes, it's me, yes, it's me
If you want to be living
I'm the one who's forgiving
Admit that it's me that you need

Watching
Watching the swallows fly
It all means the same
Just like them
You can fly home again

But don't
No, don't forget yesterday
Pride is an ugly word, girl
And you still know my name

But I remain silent
Oh, I won't say a word
I leave you to realise
I'm the light in your world

And it's me, yes, it's me
Yes, it's me, yes, it's me
That you're needing
It's me, yes, it's me
Yes, it's me, yes, it's me
That you need
Yes, it's me, yes, it's me, yes, it's me
If you want to be living
I'm the one who's forgiving
Admit that it's me that you need

I'm the one who's forgiving
Admit that it's me that you need
Oh, oh

I'm the one who's forgiving
Admit that it's me that you need
Oh, oh

And I'm the one who's forgiving
Admit that it's me that you need
Oh, oh, oh
