In Every Way

Is it all so clear
Am I meant to be here
As the thoughts travel in my mind
I'm getting further behind.

Fairy tales, and happy endings
I see you, and their heading
Taking over, to change the doubt
Reassuring me, without you, I'm without.

All I want and all I need
It's truly what I feel, indeed
Your essence, your thoughts, your body next to mine
Is really, what I'm hoping to find.

I need you, I'm in love
I need you, I'm in love
And I don't know what to do
And I don't know what to say
Please tell me that you'll stay with me
Cause I need you in every way.

Please come with me, and take my hand
Say that life with me, really would be grand
I need you, I'm in love.

Deeper and deeper, are the breaths that I take
As I wait, the answers to the many questions in my mind
So afraid to open, to the pain of love
To tell you of my find
Afraid that you'll be unkind
Just as the other, that left me behind.

But here loudly I scream
In the height of my dream
I need you, I'm in love
I need you, I'm in love
And I don't know what to do
And I don't know what to say
Only that I hope you'll stay
Cause I need you - in every way.
