Missing something in my life

Searching for it day and night

Couldn't seem to get it right

'Til you walked my way

Leaving lovers one by one

Didn't like who I'd become

Couldn't face myself, I turn and run

Made me see that I could change



Out of my darkness

As I step into the light

We get a new day

Taking one step at a time



You were what I needed

I was falling

Hiding my emotion

You made me see the truth

Your love was what I needed

Hear me calling

Waiting for a lifetime

Girl, you were my rescue

All I needed was you



I used to always get my way

Told me that you wouldn't stay

Had to face it, what you had to say

If I wanted you

You tell me when I did you wrong

I guess I've known it all along

Cared enough and you stood strong

I believed in you



In my frustrations

Tried to become someone else

The years I've wasted

I'd been lying to myself



You were what I needed

I was falling

Hiding my emotion

You made me see the truth

Your love was what I needed

Hear me calling

Waiting for a lifetime

Hear me calling

What I needed

What I needed was you



In you I found shelter

How you believed in me, stood strong

You were there through my darkest hour

You lifted my spirit up

Brought out the best in me

And now I'll stand before you with all my love



You were what I needed

I was falling

Hiding my emotion

But you made me see the truth

Your love was what I needed

Hear me calling

Waiting for a lifetime

Girl you were my rescue

What I needed was you
