It is a need: A song lyric

It was all a lie to me

A twirling, blinding haze

For love is blind, they say

A gesture without grace. 

I reasoned with myself

To never think love is kind

For falling can only mean

Losing your mind.

But, oh, I have fallen

And it's warm, the love that I feel

It burns like a light in the dim

Far from the ache of coldness

That I pictured it to be.

I know (now)

Love is a need

To me (how) 

It is a need.

I let go of my reasons 

Enraptured by your gaze

The vice of my years dissolve

To form the light of our days.

All night, I am dancing 

To your tune in the dark

Your imprint on my soul

Left a permanent mark.

And it's warm, the love that I feel

It burns like a light in the dim

Far from the ache of coldness

That I pictured it to be.

I know (now)

Love is a need

To me (how) 

It is a need.

I don't feel like breathing

If I know you won't be here

I need you by my side

I need you near

Honey, I need you

I need you here.

And it's warm, the love that I feel

It burns like a light in the dim

Far from the ache of coldness

That I pictured it to be.

I know 

Love is a need

(It is a need)

To me

Love is a need

(It is a need)
