~ I Need To Know You~

Dec 1/2014

~ I need to know you ~

I need to know you, know you

I can’t feel you this way,

I can’t listen to your music

Living MY LIFE this way

I can’t stand the way you did this

To my heart…

I know you planned it from the start

You don’t need to admit it,

My life lives it your way

Every time I hear a song of yours

I’ve never heard.

The whole world's bought your music

And probably memorized every word,

While I am stuck being mesmerized by

What I didn’t see (Marshall Mathers!)

And you ‘yes’ somehow knew

This was the key, to getting back at me

For what it means to be the only one

Who doesn’t follow everyone.

I do what I want

I do what I need

Like you I was born to lead!

Chorus

I need to know you, know you

I can’t feel you this way

I can’t listen to your music,

Living MY LIFE this way.

It takes me to my breaking point,

A sudden death

That only writing words can convey,

Because I am stuck here all alone

Doing everything on my own

And you keep telling me…

His part

‘Baby’ you can’t keep running away,

Every heart needs a home

Make mine

Yours alone,

Divorcing the whole world

On our speaker phones…

Let them try to understand

The love our hearts command,

It’s o.k. to need

What it is about me

That makes you bleed, these words

Because it’s clear

I’m the one that can hear

Where you need me, baby!

It’s your time to take a stand

So take MY HAND

And let it come thru,

What I’m trying to tell you…

You don’t have to run away

Like I know you’re used too

Every heart needs a home

Make mine yours alone!

Because I need to know you, know you

I can’t feel you this way,

I can’t keep writing this music

Watching you live

Your life this way.

Her

I need to know you, know you

I can’t feel you this way,

I can’t live it this way

I don’t want to hear your love

I’m used to being in this space by myself,

I wasn’t looking for you

So now I’m confused…

What does this mean

I’m about to do,

Because of crossing paths with you?

I can’t push it away

Your music, your words

Aren’t something I can escape

For all these years I’ve hardly listened,

And so now I’m pressed with the question

About what my hearts going to go thru,

As you make me listen to what I didn’t want too?

What are you trying to say

If I keep pushing you away,

Because I’m used to running this way?

Both…

Every heart needs a home

Make MINE YOURS alone!

His part

It’s o.k. to need what it is

About me that makes you bleed,

These words

Because it’s clear I’m the one that

Can hear,

Where you need me baby.

It’s your time to take a stand,

So take my hand and let it come thru

What I’m trying to tell you

You don’t have to run away

Like I know your used too…

Let them try to understand

The love our hearts command

So take my hand

And let it come thru…

What I’m trying to tell you

It won’t hurt to let ME in,

I understand where you’ve been

On a road of self-destruction

Divorcing our childhood histories…

I won’t lead you astray

I won’t take you down the wrong path,

You need to trust someone at last

And if you let me

I can do a job like that…

Or else we’ll keep banging heads

What our hearts have made so clear

Growing up who we are,

So try to understand

I won’t give up

Until I win

That girl within,

Who keeps reaching out

From the place she’s in,

I want to win

So let me in!

Both…

I need to know you, know you

I can’t live it this way

I need to know you, know you

That’s what I’m trying to say!

I need to know you, know you

I can’t feel you this way

I want to win,

So let me in.

Her

I can’t stand the way you did this to my heart,

I know you planned it from the start

To be the one who was famous first…

So you could win that place in my heart!

Every heart needs a home…

Both

I need to know you, know you

I can’t live it this way,

I need to know you, know you

That’s what I’m trying to say…

I want to win,

So baby

LET ME IN!

The End! OR is it just a New Beginning to perform some of my written work with him? LOL
