I need some time

You may not see

While you're away, how much I miss you

Although I know you'll come someday

Just to see that you've changed in a way

That no one can explain

Makes me think of what you told me

On that day, when you left

You said you needed a friend, I'm a friend

We started out as friends

And I hope we'll be together in the end

If you come home, to me, tonight

I'll give you all the time you need

Sad to be here, without a friend to share my fear

I need you now, you need to hold me

'Cause I can't sleep at all at night

Now I need you, my friend

You're my friend

We started out as friends

And I hope we'll be together in the end
