There's so much breakin up

Folks who won't fall in love

Put Up Shelves, guard themselves, build walls

And it makes me cry sometimes

'Cause people live lonely lives

They don't want to try

They don't want to live at all



(Chorus)

But 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



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



(Repeat Chorus)



'Cause i need you i need you by my side
