The Way That I Need You - Passenger

He's the deflated balloon wrapped around your gait

Cut priced to clear a past to

Sell by date

He'll be fool running

Through the church yard screaming out

It's not too late

When he does I know that you'll wait

He's the drunk man with bad breath

Coming on too strong

But he's the beauty queen that strings your heart along

And he'll answer every question

In your new-age magazine wrong

But I know you'll love him strong

So I'm leaving before there's nothing to believe in

I'm just craving for a love I never knew

Please don't go mistreating me

I'm not saying you've been misleading me

Just not needing me the way that I need you

He's the elephant in the room that never speaks

But you dream about him every two weeks

I wouldn't know his name

But you call it in your sleep

Oh I know you love him deep

So run back to him like you should

I guess I always knew that you would

For he's captured your heart in a way I never could

So go on and love him good

So I'm leaving before there's nothing to believe in

I'm just craving for a love I've never knew

You're the book I can't stop reading

I'm the stray cat you've been feeding

But the tides they are receding that it's true

So please don't go mistreating me

I'm not saying you've been misleading me

Just not needing me the way that I need you

Just not needing me the way that I need you
