SONG LYRICS
This all or nothing really got a way of driving me crazy
I need somebody to heal, somebody to know
Somebody to have, somebody to hold
It's easy to say, but it's never the same
I guess I kinda liked the way you numbed all the pain
Now the day bleeds into night till I can't tell what is real
What have I done, what have I done?
What would you say if I told you that I loved you? Would you turn away or would you let me go?
'Cause I need someone to heal, someone to know
Someone to have, someone to hold
It's easy to say, but it's never the same
I guess I kinda liked the way you numbed all the pain
Someone you loved
This all or nothing really got a way of driving me crazy
I need somebody to heal, somebody to know
Somebody to have, somebody to hold
It's easy to say, but it's never the same
I guess I kinda liked the way you numbed all the pain
Now the day bleeds into night till I can't tell what is real
What have I done, what have I done?
What would you say if I told you that I loved you? Would you turn away or would you let me go?
'Cause I need someone to heal, someone to know
Someone to have, someone to hold
It's easy to say, but it's never the same
I guess I kinda liked the way you numbed all the pain
Someone you loved
Someone you loved
Someone you loved
Someone you loved
