You are my need, my understanding You are the prisoner of my stare You're my fantasy, my reality You are my comfort in despair You are my need, you're my hopes and dreams You are the very breath I breathe You're the words in every love song You're the magic up my sleeve You are my need, you're my confidant You are the blessings in my prayers You're my rose among a world of thorns You're the diamond my future wears You are my need, you're my resting place You are my shelter in the storm You're the fire in the cold dark nights You're the ember that keeps me warm You are my need, my satisfaction You are the reason that I succeed You're the love that only comes once And I am a captive to my need
