There's so much breaking up
Folks who won't fall in love
Put up shelves guard themselves and build walls
It makes me cry sometimes
Cause people live lonely lives
Don't wanna try
Don't wanna live at all
But I'm not gonna be afraid
To give up my heart that way
Cause I need you I need you by my side
I'm not gonna say I'm strong
Out here in this world alone
Cause I need you I need you by my side
And when you find someone
Someone you really love
It makes life easier to bear
But some folks live on their own
Shut themselves in at home
They never find out what love's all about
Cause they're scared
I'm not gonna be afraid
To give up my heart that way
'cause I need you I need you by my side
And I'm not gonna say I'm strong
Out here in this world alone
Cause I need you I need you by my side
Cause I need you I need you by
My side
