I didn’t need you to be strong
I needed someone
Someone to cry with me
Someone to hide with me
(I needed someone)
To cry with me
Say it’s never gonna be alright
(I didn’t need you to be strong)
Someone to cry with me
Someone to hide with me
(I needed someone)
To cry with me
Someone to say it won’t ever be alright that she’s gone
(I needed someone)
She’s gone
(I didn’t need you to be strong)
I needed someone
Wish you would say her name
Wishing you knew my pain
Like I know yours
I’ve tiptoed around the edge
Carried it in my chest
And out the front door
I know you did your best
All you could do was dress
And pretend to move on
(But there’s no moving on)
Wish I could call you when
My heart’s breaking and
I need someone
Someone to cry with me
Someone to hide with me
(I needed someone)
To cry with me
Say it’s never gonna be alright
(I didn’t need you to be strong)
Someone to cry with me
Someone to hide with me
(I needed someone)
To cry
Someone to say it won’t ever be alright
She’s gone
(I needed someone)
Oh, I needed someone
I, I wish you could name the thing
That I’ve been unraveling
All by myself
I carry it in my spine
(Like a) vertebrate time rewind
Everything you felt
(I know)
I know that you do your best
To silence the unaddressed
The things you can’t outrun
(The things you left undone, but I)
I wish you could try somehow
To say everything out loud
And be someone
Someone to cry with me
Someone to hide with me
I needed someone
I need (baby I need you to be strong)
Someone to cry with me
(Baby I need you to be strong)
Someone to hide with me
(I needed someone)
To cry with me and say it’s never gonna be alright
She’s gone
She’s gone
I needed someone (someone)
I didn’t need you to be strong
(I didn’t need you to be strong)
I didn’t need you to be strong
