Afraid to Need

Verse 1: Find another, find another place to heal, alone
Under tarpaulin, blinking lonely in the light of the sun
Chorus 1: How will you know when there?s more to tell you
When you won?t even allow me just to speak?
The other side of a soul afraid of dying
A soul afraid to need
Verse 2: It?s been too long, it?s been too long since you danced a dream
Under lightning, a place to fall, a place to live and see
Chorus 2: And how will you know when there?s more to tell you
When you won?t even allow me just to speak?
The other side of a soul afraid of dying
A soul afraid to need
Chorus 3: And how will you know when there?s more to tell you
When you won?t even allow me just to speak?
The other side of a soul afraid of dying
The other side of a soul afraid of crying
The other side of a soul afraid of dying
A soul afraid to need
