I need you beside me

Intro – soft piano]

(gentle piano, distant violin)

Ohh…

Stay…

There’s a silence in the room tonight

Where your laughter used to be

I keep reaching for your shadow

But it’s slipping out of me

Every corner feels so empty

Every breath is hard to take

I didn’t know how much I needed you

Till my whole world started to break

I tried to be strong on my own

But I don’t wanna be alone

I need you beside me

When the night gets too deep

When the tears start falling

And I can’t even breathe

I need you to hold me

Like you did before

‘Cause nothing feels right anymore

I need you beside me…

I still hear your voice in my head

Like a song that never fades

Every word you left unspoken

Still echoes through the pain

I keep chasing all the memories

But they’re fading into blue

And every road I try to walk on

Somehow leads me back to you

No matter how far I run

You’re still the only one

I need you beside me

When the night gets too deep

When the tears start falling

And I can’t even breathe

I need you to hold me

Like you did before

‘Cause nothing feels right anymore

I need you beside me…

If I could turn back time

I’d never let you go

I’d say all the things

I was too scared to show

(violin rises)

Now I’m here in the dark

With a broken heart…

I need you beside me

More than you’ll ever know

Every piece of me is calling

But you’re too far to hold

I need you to save me

From losing it all

‘Cause I’m barely standing at all

I need you beside me…

(piano + violin)

I need you…

Beside me…
