I need a song to kill this headache
I need a beat to feed my soul
I need the sound of a thousand voices
Singing back to feel at home
I wake up every morning
With a pounding in my head
Like a kick drum echoed off the walls
Of the life that I once led

I got peace and I got pain
Either way it's all the same
Take your time, I'll take the blame
Promise not to run

I can't stand that you see right through me
I can't stand when you look away
Tell me that you need me
Will you love me 'til you leave me

I'll be on my best behavior
Yes, I'll be home on time
What more could I say to you
To justify my crimes
I try to test your patience
To see if you run out
But there's a spotlight calling me
That I can't live without

I got peace and I got pain
Either way it's all the same
Take your time, I'll take the blame
Promise not to run

I can't stand that you see right through me
I can't stand when you look away
Tell me that you need me
Will you love me 'til you leave me

Tell me that you need me
Tell me that you need me
Tell me that you need me
Tell me that you need me
I got space and I got time
Always got you on my mind
Take it all back, I'll be fine
Promise not to run

I can't stand that you see right through me
I can't stand when you look away
Tell me that you need me
Will you love me 'til you leave me

Tell me that you need me
Tell me that you need me
Tell me that you need me
Tell me that you need me
