need you

Rachel Platten

We both know that I m a river
Strong enough to wash your love away
We both know that you re a giver
And baby all I do is take

If I m taking you for granted I don t mean to
Cause if you only knew

How much I need you
Like a sinner needs a prayer
Yea I breathe you
Baby your love gives me air
The way I treat you
Sometimes it isn t fair
I hate that I forget how much I need to
Tell you that I need you, ooh

You let me fall apart completely
I m like a child in your arms
I go low but you still meet me
I should be careful with your heart

If I m taking you for granted I don t mean to
Cause if you only knew

How much I need you
Like a sinner needs a prayer
Yea I breathe you
Baby your love gives me air
The way I treat you
Sometimes it isn t fair
I hate that I forget how much I need to
Tell you that I need you, ooh

You ve been the rock, I ve been the water
You ve been the shore, I ve been the waves
We can t have one without the other
But it should go both ways

Because I need you
Oh yea I need you
How much I need you
Like a sinner needs a prayer
Yea I breathe you
Baby your love gives me air
The way I treat you
Sometimes it isn t fair
I hate that I forget how much I need to
Tell you that I need you, yea I need you

Tell you that I need you, how much I need you
