Tell me what is that look in your eyes.
You know we’ve come too far to give up and just say goodbye.
But I know that a caged bird sings when it cries
cause it can’t spread its wings to take flight in the sky.
But I need you now. But I need you now.
How was I to know?
How was I to know the way I’d need you now?
Tell me why is love so hard to make?
We can build towers but can’t help our own hearts not break.
We fight wars and barely pay mind to the toll.
But we’ll break down and we’ll cry when our lover’s gone cold.
And I need you now. And I need you now.
How was I to know?
How was I to know the way I’d need you now?
I thought we were the lucky ones –
the pair that beat the odds.
I thought we were the lucky ones
but now I know I’m wrong.
Cause I need you now. Cause I need you now.
How was I to know?
How was I to know the way I’d need you now?
The way I'd need you now...
