Need Me Now

You call me funny
Say I'm endearing
You think you love me
You have this feeling
That I'm the antidote
I'm what's missing
The simple anecdote
Of what's worth living

And you need me now
You need me now
Yeah, you need me
Now

And you listen
To my complaints
You see my visions
And my mistakes
But I'm a novelty
My time is borrowed
You couldn't promise me
We'll have tomorrow

But you need me now
You need me now
Yeah, you need me
Now
Yeah, you need me now
You need me now
Yeah, you need me
Now

You could cut me open
You could run me dry
You could leave me broken
And I'd still have to try
To crawl back up to you
And would you take me?
I did this all for you
And could you blame me?
But you need me now
You need me now
Yeah, you need me
Now

I trust too much
I always have
And I played by rules
To stay on track
And I'm too afraid
Of getting hurt
So I shut my mouth
And I stay alert

Now I trust no one
You're all I know
Tell me now
You won't let go
Will you someday find a better me?
'Cause I'm nothing new
If I'm not nineteen

But You need me now
You need me now
Yeah, you need me
Now
You need me now
You need me now
Yeah, you need me now
For now
