Lyrics
I’m going under and this time I fear there’s no one to save me
This all or nothing really got a way of driving me crazy
I need somebody to heal
somebody to know
somebody to have
somebody to hold
It’s easy to say
but it’s never the same
I guess I kinda liked the way you numbed all the pain
Now the day bleeds, into nightfall
and you’re not here, to get me through it all
I let my guard down and then you pulled the rug
I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved
I’m going under and this time I fear there’s no one to turn to
This all or nothing way of loving got me sleeping without you
Now I need somebody to know
somebody to heal
somebody to have
just to know how it feels
It’s easy to say
but it’s never the same
I guess I kinda liked the way you helped me escape
Now the day bleeds, into nightfall
and you’re not here, to get me through it all
I let my guard down and then you pulled the rug
I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved
And I tend to close my eyes when it hurts sometimes
I fall into your arms
I'll be safe in your sound til I come back around
For now the day bleeds, into nightfall
and you’re not here, to get me through it all
I let my guard down and then you pulled the rug
I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved
But now the day bleeds, into nightfall
and you’re not here, to get me through it all
I let my guard down and then you pulled the rug
I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved
I let my guard down and then you pulled the rug
I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved
Review comment:
- This brings me back to the hospital with my wife fighting for her life. "Now you're not here to get me through it all" that hits so close to home. I have struggled with depression the majority of my life and she is the light that got me to stability. Without her I don't think I would be able to keep going. Love the ones you have like they won't be here tomorrow because one day they won't.
- Producers: how many people do you want to make cry? Lewis: yes
- This sounds too pure to be made in 2019
- I'm working really hard to stay alive after a cancer diagnosis. This song gets right inside of my heart
- I lost my daughter last Christmas, she was only 28... this resonates with me on so many levels, makes me sing along with tears in my eyes and a smile on my face... thanks Lewis you really are a superstar !
