Joseph Trapanese - I Need You lyrics

[Verse 1] I have a proud heart. Haven't yet seen it all But I've been spit on, by the ones I thought were real And I don't drink much, when I do I just Get thoughtful, until I've had my fill [Pre-Chorus] I'm from a small town, but I still get out I've been let down, and I let down those who looked up to me somehow You'll find me, American dream, my Korean eyes barely ever blinking [Chorus] I used to battle all the nights alone I used to fool myself that you had gone But the truth...is I need you I used to care about the rock n' roll I grew a face my momma didn't know But the truth....is I need you [Verse 2] I fill my paper bags with all my old shoes Yeah I'm on the move, but I got no stone to throw I want what they have What my parents cracked But what's a gamble if you've got nothing to lose [Pre-Chorus 2] I'm from a small town But I still clean out Yeah I've been burnt out, but I burnt up all the pieces of my bad luck I found you right where I left you You never left me, even when I left you [Outro] I built my bridges up to make a city I didn't realize you couldn't see me I'm from a small town but I still clean out I'm from a small town but I still get down I'm from a small town, but I still get out I'm from a small town, but I still get down
