Desire is a shadow with a hand on the wheel, Pulls you toward the edge of what you thought you could feel. It leads you through the noise of the night Makes wrong look like freedom, makes danger look right. And I need you, Yes, I need you, More than I should, More than I can mention. Love can arrive like a storm without warning, Steal all your sleep and rewrite every morning. You give it your heart, you surrender your guard, Then wonder why wanting someone leaves you scarred. It is hunger, it is fever, it is fire under skin, A beautiful disaster you keep falling within. It can raise you to heaven, then drag you below, Leave you staring at the wreckage of the person you know. And I need you, Still I need you, Like a truth I can't escape — An obsession. It wears its finest face beneath the city lights, Polished like a promise, sharpened like a knife. It smiles without mercy, it knows what you fear, Draws you ever closer when the exit is near. It is cold when it touches, but it burns when it stays, Turns a moment into months, turns a night into days. And when the morning comes, through the dust and debris, You ask whether you lost yourself — or finally broke free. I need you, I need you, Though I know what it costs. I reach for the feeling Even knowing what's lost. I need you, Still I need you, And the hardest truth to learn Is sometimes what you crave Is what you cannot keep.
