I've been waiting on my own for a lifetime and it shows
God, the way I seem to keep my distance from you
Baby, there's no need to go, prove you love me when it shows
And the ones before you made it hard to love at all

Every time I tried to make myself seem small
In the arms of others who never loved me better
All the ways I tried to make myself less selfish
It never made them stay and I can't love me like this
I can't love me like this

So, can you call all your friends, baby?
Tell them to find other plans
'Cause I need you tonight, baby
I need to know that everything's alright, baby
I need to know that everything's alright

I've been waiting for someone who will cure what I've become
God, the way I seem to need nobody but you
Maybe there's another way, I can never make you stay
And the ones before you never loved me like you do

Every time I tried to make myself seem small
In the arms of others, they never love you better
Every time I tried to make myself seem empty
It never made them stay, it only made them hurt me
Only made them hurt me

So, can you call all your friends, baby?
Tell them to find other plans
'Cause I need you tonight, baby
I need to know that everything's alright, baby

So, can you call all your friends, baby?
Tell them to find other plans
'Cause I need you tonight, baby
I need to know that everything's alright, baby

So, can you call all your friends?
Tell them to find other plans
'Cause I need you tonight
I need to know that everything's alright
I need to know that everything's alright
