I still need you

I Still Need You

Verse 1

They say time heals everything,

But nobody told my heart.

It’s been almost six years now,

And it still feels like we’re apart.

You knew me better than anyone,

You always knew what made me smile.

Thirty-six cans of my favorite pop,

Just to make my birthday worthwhile.

You never needed fancy things,

You made love feel so complete.

Some of my favorite memories

Were just sitting by your side in peace.

I didn’t know those little moments

Would become the ones I’d miss the most.

Now I’d give anything in this whole world

Just to hear your voice once more.

Pre-Chorus

Sometimes I hear your voice inside my head,

Telling me everything will be okay.

Sometimes I close my eyes and picture you,

And wish that picture didn’t fade away.

Chorus

I don’t need the world, I just need you.

One more hug, one more “I love you.”

I’d give anything just to hear your voice,

If Heaven gave me just one choice.

I still cry when nobody sees,

I still fall down to my knees.

I don’t want to let you go…

I just want you to know…

I still need you.

Every birthday feels incomplete,

Every holiday’s missing your light.

I’d trade a thousand tomorrows

For just one more day, one more night.

I know I can’t change yesterday,

But my heart still wishes it could.

I’d tell you that I love you, Nana,

If only somehow I stood where you stood.

Verse 2

Our messages are gone now,

But your words still fill my mind.

Every memory I have of you

Is one I’ll never leave behind.

Some days I’m okay, then out of nowhere,

The missing hits me like the rain.

People think I should be over it…

But love doesn’t work that way.

I still remember all the little things,

The way you always cared for me.

You saw me when nobody else did,

You loved me for exactly who I’d be.

When life felt heavy on my shoulders,

You somehow made it feel so light.

Now when I need someone the most,

I look for you in every night.

Verse 3

When I walked across that graduation stage,

You were there in every step I made.

Your picture on my cap was more than art,

It was my way of carrying your heart.

I looked up hoping somehow you’d see,

The girl you always believed I’d be.

The crowd was loud, but all I wished

Was one more hug, one more kiss.

I wanted you to cheer for me,

The way you always used to do.

To tell me you were proud again,

Like only you knew how to.

That cap I wore was made with love,

Because I couldn’t leave you behind.

You may not have walked beside me,

But you were always on my mind.

Pre-Chorus

If love alone could build a bridge,

I’d run to you with open arms.

I’d tell you everything you’ve missed,

And thank you for keeping my heart warm.

Chorus

I don’t need the world, I just need you.

One more hug, one more “I love you.”

I’d give anything just to hear your voice,

If Heaven gave me just one choice.

I still cry when nobody sees,

I still fall down to my knees.

I don’t want to let you go…

I just want you to know…

I still need you.

Bridge

People say you’re in a better place,

And I hope that’s really true.
