It's a long, lonely road

That I've walked on my own

Never thought I'd end up

In this place.

I went fast, I went slow

Then I gave up all hope

'cause I know either way

It's the same.

And I'm not tryna find somebody

'cause no one else but you will do

Yeah, the real thing is gone

How I wish I could hold you.

I wasted all of these days and nights

Trying to chase all these empty highs

But I had go to my worst so

I know that I just needed you.

As I look out at the morning sun

There's no escape from the things I've done

And out of everything that I've lost

Now I know that I just needed you.

And darling, that's the truth.

I don't lie anymore

In a heap on the floor

'cause I'm clear on the road

I must take.

And I'm not tryna find somebody

'cause no one else but you will do

I'm getting closer, stumbling over

Everything I need to say to you

I wasted all of these days and nights

Trying to chase all these empty highs

But I had go to my worst so

I know that I just needed you.

As I look out at the morning sun

There's no escape from the things I've done

And out of everything that I've lost

Now I know that I just needed you.

And darling, that's the truth

And darling, that's the truth.

Out of touch with every fibre

If you're out there, leave a light on

'cause the distance is getting wider

And I know I've gotta find ya.

I wasted all of these days and nights

Trying to chase all these empty highs

But I had go to my worst so

I know that I just needed you.

As I look out at the morning sun

There's no escape from the things I've done

And out of everything I lost

Now I know that I just needed you.

And darling, that's the truth

And darling, that's the truth

Darling, that's the truth.
