Lyrics

I Need To Be In Love

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.

The hardest thing i've ever done is keep believing

There's someone in this crazy world for me

The way that people come and go through temporary lives

My chance could come and i might never know

I used to say "no promises, let's keep it simple"

But freedom only helps you say goodbye

It took a while for me to learn that nothing comes for free

The price i paid is high enough for me

I know i need to be in love

I know i've wasted too much time

I know i ask perfection of a quite imperfect world

And fool enough to think that's what i'll find

So here i am with pockets full of good intentions

But none of them will comfort me tonight

I'm wide awake at 4 a.m. without a friend in sight

I'm hanging on a hope but i'm all right

I know i need to be in love

I know i've wasted too much time

I know i ask perfection of a quite imperfect world

And fool enough to think that's what i'll find

So here i am with pockets full of good intentions

But none of them will comfort me tonight

I'm wide awake at 4 a.m. without a friend in sight

I'm hanging on a hope but i'm all right

I know i need to be in love

I know i've wasted too much time

I know i ask perfection of a quite imperfect world

And fool enough to think that's what i'll find
