Pa**enger - The Way That I Need You lyrics

He’s the deflated balloon wrapped around your gate Cut priced to clear and past his “sell by" date He’ll be the fool running through the church yard, screamin' out “it’s not too late” When he does, I know that you’ll wait He’s the drunk man with bad breath coming on too strong He’s the beauty queen that strings your heart along And he’ll answer every question in your new-age magazine wrong But I know you love him strong So I’m leaving before there’s nothing to believe in I’m just greiving for a love I never knew Please don’t go mistreating me I’m not saying you’ve been misleading me Just not needing me the way that I need you He’s the elephant in the room that never speaks But you dream about him every two weeks And I wouldn’t know his name, but you call it in your sleep Oh I know you love him deep So run back to him like you should I guess I always knew that you would For he’s captured your heart in a way I never could So go on and love him good Oh I’m leaving for here’s nothing to believe in I’m just greiving for a love I never knew You’re the book I can’t stop reading I’m the stray cat you've been feeding But the tides they are receding now it’s true So please don’t go mistreating me I’m not saying you’ve been misleading me, Just not needing me, the way that I need you Just not needing me, the way that I need you
