Needed | Rhye

i wanna be needed
that's what i need

it's everyone's ultimate hope, no?
to be needed
so badly

because it means they're thought of
they're loved
they're special somehow.

winter is sucking my skin dry
i think it's sucking me dry too
through my flesh and into my bones
into my heart
making me brittle
through and through
easy to crack, easy to break
hollow somehow

how is it you can feel so ready for connection
yearn for it badly
and feel so lonely

i'm made of love
it's deep in me
this need to give it away freely
and yet
it seems this life won't let me do so

they say that which really belongs to you
will return
& if it doesn't
it was never yours in the first place

i don't know about all that
all i know is
i'll keep your dreams.
i'll hold them in my heart.
your sadnesses, your secrets,
they're safe with me.

you can need me if you want to.
