It's a long, lonely road that I've walked on my own Never thought I'd end up in this place I went fast, I went slow, then I gave up all hope Cause I know either way it's the same And I'm not trying to find somebody Cause no one else but you will do Yeah the real thing is gold, how I wish I could hold you I wasted all of these days and nights Trying to chase all these empty eyes But I had to go to my worst so I know that I just needed you As I look out at the morning sun There's no escape from the things I've done And out of everything I've lost now I know that I just needed you But darling that's the truth I don't lie anymore in the heat on the floor Cause I'm clear on the road I must take And I'm not trying to find somebody Cause no one else but you will do I'm getting close to stumbling over everything I need to say to you I wasted all of these days and nights Trying to chase all these empty eyes But I had to go to my worst so I know that I just needed you As I look out at the morning sun There's no escape from the things I've done And out of everything I've lost now I know that I just needed you But darling that's the truth But darling that's the truth I will search with every fiber If you're out there leave a light on Cause the distance is getting wider And I know I've got to find you I wasted all of these days and nights Trying to chase all these empty eyes But I had to go to my worst so I know that I just needed you As I look out at the morning sun There's no escape from the things I've done And out of everything I've lost now I know that I just needed you But darling that's the truth But darling that's the truth Darling that's the truth
