When You Need Someone

We had it all
We threw it away
God only knows I miss you
I never thought
You’d leave me this way
How can I show that I want you?
I’m standing alone
In this cold empty room
I’ve waited so long
To say that I want you
When you need someone
I’m there to remind you
Love will always find you
When you need someone
Someone to take away all your heartache
I’ll give you love
The strength from my heart
Love comes and goes
Into the night
I thought it would last forever
Wanting you close
Pulling you tight
Our love should go on forever
But you’re so far away
Now what can I do
I’ve waited so long
To say that I want you
We had it all
We threw it away
God only knows I miss you
I never thought
You’d leave me this way
How can I show that I want you?
