I cried a tear, you wiped it dry
I was confused, you cleared my mind
I sold my soul, you bought it back for me
And held me up, and gave me dignity
Somehow you needed me
You gave me strength, to stand alone again
To face the world, out on my own again
You put me high, upon a pedestal
So high that I could almost see eternity
You needed me, you needed me
And I can't believe it's you
I can't believe it's true
I needed you and you were there
And I'll never leave
Why should I leave, I'd be a fool
'Cause I've finally found someone who really cares
You held my hand, when it was cold
When I was lost, you took me home
You gave me hope, when I was at the end
And turned my lies, back into truth again
You even called me friend
You gave me strength, to stand alone again
To face the world, out on my own again
You put me high, upon a pedestal
So high that I could almost see eternity
You needed me, you needed me
You needed me, you needed me
