Someone will make you see
  You were in love with me
  And know what it's like to be
  Where I'm standing now
  And then you'll find me somehow

  You better hope I'm around when you need me
  You know I won't be around when you need me
  You better know what to do when you need me
  No one told me what to do when I needed you

  I was a man, now I'm just a bird sitting in your hand
  You tell me that it's through
  But when it comes to you
  That I was in love with you
  You'll wonder where to fly
  When someone tells you goodbye

  Maybe now you cannot see
  But I know just what you need
  'Cause you're looking for someone like me
  And after I leave you here
  You'll spend some lonely years
  And you won't need my tears
  To know what I've been through
  And need me like I needed you
