Missing something in my life Searching for it day and night Couldn't seem to get it right 'Til you walked my way Leaving lovers one by one Didn't like who I'd become Couldn't face myself, I turn and run Made me see that I could change Out of my darkness As I step into the light We get a new day Taking one step at a time You were what I needed I was falling Hiding my emotion You made me see the truth Your love was what I needed Hear me calling Waiting for a lifetime Girl, you were my rescue All I needed was you I used to always get my way Told me that you wouldn't stay Had to face it, what you had to say If I wanted you You tell me when I did you wrong I guess I've known it all along Cared enough and you stood strong I believed in you In my frustrations Tried to become someone else The years I've wasted I'd been lying to myself You were what I needed I was falling Hiding my emotion You made me see the truth Your love was what I needed Hear me calling Waiting for a lifetime Hear me calling What I needed What I needed was you In you I found shelter How you believed in me, stood strong You were there through my darkest hour You lifted my spirit up Brought out the best in me And now I'll stand before you with all my love You were what I needed I was falling Hiding my emotion But you made me see the truth Your love was what I needed Hear me calling Waiting for a lifetime Girl you were my rescue What I needed was you
