You need me now

You say you miss me in the midnight hour

Now the silence finally got too loud

But where was all that broken honesty

When you were showing off to that crowd

You walked away like love was cheap

Like everything we built was small

Just to brag you had another body

Like that meant something at all

⸻

Pre-Chorus

Now your voice shakes on the phone

Saying you’re tired of being alone

But where was all that desperate need

When you were letting go of me

⸻

Chorus

Oh now you need me

Now the thrill is gone

Now the empty bed

Is where the truth comes from

Now you’re calling my name

Like I’m the air you breathe

But before tonight

I was easy to leave.

You threw away a loyal heart

Just to prove you could score

Traded something real

For a night with a whore.

⸻

Verse 2

Did it make you feel like a bigger man

Walking through that cheap parade

Did the laughter drown the memories

Of every promise that you made

Because I remember every scar

Every night you leaned on me

But you burned the only bridge you had

For a moment of vanity

⸻

Pre-Chorus

Now regret sits on your chest

Like a weight you can’t outrun

Funny how the love you lost

Is the thing you’re begging from

⸻

Powerhouse Bridge (crowd goes silent)

One day

you’ll tell the story different

You’ll say I slipped away

But the truth…

The truth is you threw me away.

For a laugh

For a drink

For a name you won’t remember

You traded forever

For a moment that ended

And the saddest part of all…

Is you knew what I was worth

while you were losing me.

⸻

Final Chorus

Now you need me

Now your world’s gone cold

Now you’re reaching back

For the hands you used to hold

But love don’t grow again

Where respect was ignored

You burned down a kingdom

For a night you can’t afford.

Now you’re staring at the ashes

Of the life you let go

And the woman you betrayed…

Is the one you’ll never

have again
