The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Vg: I just had to hear your voice
You've always been my rock
The one that puts me back together on my away around the block
Bt: Yeah my late night phone calls
An ear you can bend
The sister you never had, your lover and your closest friend
And it breaks my heart you'll never be what you need from me
Ooh I tried (I tried) and failed
I've prayed (I've prayed) like hell
To change (to change) but I can't change (I can't change)
I let you down 'cos I'm still the same
And I can't be (no I can't be) what you need from me
Bt: You need a trophy on yur arm
So you don't look so lonely
Someone to get you through the nights, someone to start your morning coffee
Vg: You need a man that you can count on
Someone who'll finish what he started
Not a restless soul who comes and goes and leaves you open-hearted
And it breaks my heart you'll never be what you need from me
Ooh I tried (I tried) and failed
I've prayed (I've prayed) like hell
To change (to change) but I can't change (I can't change)
I let you down 'cos I'm still the same
And I can't be (no I can't be) what you need from me
I've tried, I've failed
I've prayed like hell
But I can't be (no I can't be) what you need from me
What you need from me
What you need from meee
