[Verse 1]

Crying out kept me sane

Now it's such a crying shame

Mirrors that reflect my past

Showing what would never last

Knowing where I was before

I can see the shutting doors

Closing to unfailing love

But I can't seem to get enough

[Chorus]

I desperately want you

I desperately need you

I need a love that stands true

I desperately want you

[Verse 2]

Living in a world of hurt

Hurting everything that's worth

Loving til the day I die

Sometime I don't even try

Acting like it's all ok

Knowing that I'm in the way

Seeing where I need to be

But I need you to carry me

[Chorus]

I desperately want you

I desperately need you

I need a love that stands true

I desperately want you

[Bridge]

You know my name

You know my pain

And I need you

And I need you

And I need you

[Chorus]

I desperately want you

I desperately need you

I need a love that stands true

I desperately want you
