EI cried a Atear, yoDu wiped it dry
I was conEfused, you cleared my Amind
I sold my C#msoul, you bDought it back for me
And held me Bup and Egave me dignity
Somehow you needed me
EYou gave me Astrength to Dstand alone again
To face the Eworld out on my Aown again
You put me C#mhigh Dupon a pedestal
So Ahigh that I could F#malmost see eBternity
You Eneeded me, you Aneeded me
And I F#mcan't Abelieve it's Dyou, I can't believe it's true
I Bmneeded you and you were Athere
And I'll F#mnever lAeave, why should I lDeave? I'd be a fool
Cause I BfinallEy found someone who really cares
You held my hand when it was cold
When I was lost you took me home
You gave me hope when I was at the end
And turned my lies back into truth again
You even called me "friend"
You gave me strength...
You needed me, you needed me
