I've run from these feelings for so long   Telling my heart I didn't need you   Pretending I was better off alone   But I know that it's just a lie   So afraid to take a chance again   So afraid of what I'd feel inside      But I need to be next to you   (Need to be next to you)   Oh I, oh I   I need to share every breath with you   (Share every breath with you)   Oh I, oh I      I need to know I can see you   Smiling each morning   Look into your eyes each night   For the rest of my life      Here with you, near with you   Oh I   I need to be next to you   Need to be next to you      Right here with you is right where I belong   I'll lose my mind if I can't see you   Without you there is nothing in this life   That would make life worth living for   I can't bear the thought of you not there   I can't fight what I feel anymore      'Cause I need to be next to you   (Need to be next to you)   Oh I, oh I   I need to share every breath with you   (Share every breath with you)   Oh I, oh I      I need to know I can see you   Smiling each morning   Look into your eyes each night   For the rest of my life      Here with you, near with you   Oh I   I need to be next to you      I need to have your heart next to mine   For all the time   Hold you for all my life   I need to be next to you      I need to be next to you   (To be next to you)   Oh I, oh I   Need to be, need to be next to you   Share every breath with you   Oh, oh I      I need to feel you in my arms, babe   (Oh)   In my arms, babe   (Oh I)   I need to be next to you   Oh I, oh I   (Oh I)
