I Need for You

Ilse DeLange


I say your name out of habit
I forget that you don't hear me anymore
The silence feels so heavy
I try to carry on

Sometimes I think that I see you
I remember I don't have you anymore
The space, it feels so empty
I try to carry on

I need for you
Heart beats for you
Lungs breathe for you
Why do you have to leave
But don't leave me alone
'Cause I am nothing but a hollow body when you're gone
I need for you

We used to share every morning
Now most days I end up keeping to myself
'Cause it's easier to end up when I'm barely hanging on
When people come here to talk
I just listen 'cause i don't know what to say
No words for what I'm feeling
I'm barely hanging on

I need for you
Heart beats for you
Lungs breathe for you
Why do you have to leave
But don't leave me alone
'Cause I am nothing but a hollow body when you're gone
I need for you

I need for you
Heart beats for you
Lungs breathe for you
Why do you have to leave
But don't leave me alone
'Cause I am nothing but a hollow body when you're gone
I need for you

I need for you
I need for you
