Lyrics: Ben Harper. Needed You Tonight.

My every breath is a prayer for you
you know i'm waiting there for you
i'd rather learn to live with you
and suffer
than to see you in the arms
of another

but now my heart aches a little
now my heart breaks a little
i lie awake in the middle
of a cold empty room
with one light
i needed you tonight

i am not your tool
or your born again fool
i'm not in the mood
to serenade sorrow
there was a time
that i could get by
but this was once upon a lie

my heart it aches a little
my heart breaks a little
i lie awake in the middle
of a pain with no end in sight
i needed you tonight

violin is my instrument of choice
it recognizes the pain in my voice
you're the are in
are we gonna make it
you put the 't' in i just can't take it

my heart aches a little
my heart it breaks a little
i lie awake in the middle
of a cold empty room
with no light
