lyrics

We all need someone to hold
We all need someone to hold

Tell me when did I lose my power
Oh when did I lose my faith
Tell me why did I keep believing it’s real
When nothing ever seemed to change
Tell me when did you fight the feeling
Oh when did you shift your eyes
Tell me when did you move onto somebody new
Tell me when did you change your mind

I know you need someone to show off
So you can feel you’re fly
Someone who can go half on a baby
Someone to feed your lies
And I need someone who’s bold
Someone who does right
Someone who makes me strong on the daily
Someone who doesn't lie

We all need someone to hold
We all need someone to hold
We all need someone to hold
We all need someone to hold

Don’t know when you became a disaster
Or when you became a shamed
Thinking you were in tune with me all you could do with me
You threw it all away
Don’t know when you became the player
Or when you became so lame
Don’t know when you turned into every man that I knew
Oh you should be put to shame

I know you need someone to show off
So you can feel you’re fly
Someone who can go half on a baby
Someone to feed your lies
And I need someone who’s bold
Someone who does right
Someone who makes me strong on the daily
Someone who doesn't lie

It’s so easy for you to sit there accusing me
But between the both of us we know the lies you told
And baby yes i’ve already moved on indeed
He does me better than you’ll ever ever know

So go and get someone to show off
So you can feel you’re fly
Someone who can go half on a baby
Someone to feed your lies
‘Cause now I’m with someone who’s bold
Someone who does right
Someone who makes me strong on the daily
Someone who doesn't lie

We all need someone to hold
We all need someone to hold
We all need someone to hold
We all need someone to hold
