In simpler times, we were friends
Before the pain, it moved in
Oh, where do I even begin?
You're still my blood, you've always been
There's so much more outside this town
There's more to see than what you've found
Hold on another day, I can prove it to you

And if you left without goodbye
You would've missed the tears I cried
Then you would never know how I needed you
You and I stupid kids
When I love you wasn't pretend
The price of age was innocence
The more we know we can't forget

There's so much more outside this town
There's more to see than what you've found
Hold on another day, I can prove it to you
And if you left without goodbye
You would've missed the tears I cried
Then you would never know how I needed you

Oh, I needed you
I needed you
I needed you
I needed you
I needed you

All of those days that hurt you to breathe
Were the same nights that I couldn't sleep
All of those nights you spent wide awake
Were the same days that my strength was fake
I wish that you could see me right here
Right where I've been since my very first year
It's not a fight made just for you
So when you're in war, I'm in it too
Me and you, oh

There's so much more outside this town
There's more to see than what you've found
Hold on another day, I can prove it to you
And if you left without goodbye
You would've missed the tears I cried
Then you would never know how I needed you

Oh, I needed you (oh, I needed)
I needed you (oh, I needed)
I needed you (oh, I needed)
I needed you (God, I needed you)
I still need you
