I Need You to Know
by Amanda Coleman
I lay awake at night
Just to cry my self to sleep
Because you don’t know how I fell
What is in my soul hidden deep
I’m afraid to let the real me show
For the real me might you away
So I keep everything bottled up tight
And my bright colors are turning to gray
I wish you could understand
That I am out of place
Just hold me close to you
And fill up this empty space
I wish I could tell you how I fell
But I can’t get the words to come out
Because I need you by my side
To tell me to have no fear or doubt
Tell me my hopes aren’t hopeless
And show me all your love
So I can the strength to reach my dreams
And fly as high as a dove
