  • Don't speak,
    I can't believe
    This is here happening,
    Our situation isn't right
    Get real who your playing with,
    I never thought he'd be like this
    You were supposed to be there by my side

    When you say that you want me,
    I just don't believe it
    Your always ready to give up
    And never turn around

    But what if I need you baby
    Would you even try to save me
    Or would you find some lame excuse to never be true
    What if I said I love you
    Would you be the one to run to
    Or would you watch me walk away
    Without a fight

    So sick of worrying, that ya
    Gonna quit over anything
    I could trip and you'd let go like that
    And everything that we ever were
    Seems to fade but not the hurt
    Cause you don't know the good things from the bad
    When I say that I want you
    You know that I mean it
    And in my hour of weakness
    There's still time to try

    But what if I need you baby
    Would you even try to save me
    Or would you find some lame excuse to never be true
    What if I said I loved you
    Would you be the one to run to
    Or would you watch me walk away
    Without a fight

    Every time I speak you try and stop me
    Cause every little thing I say is wrong (yeah, yeah, yeah)
    You say your noticing but you never see
    This is who I really am that you can't leave
    Makes me wanna know right now
    If it's me you'll leave without
    Or would you change your mind

    What if I need you

    But what if I need you baby
    Would you even try to save me
    Or would you find some lame excuse to never be true
    What if I said I loved you
    Would you be the one to run to
    Or would you watch me walk away without a

    Oh baby what if I need you (what if I need you)
    Yeah, yeah
    What if I need you, what if I you
    What if I need you
    What if I need you
    Oh what if I need you
    What if I need you
    Need you, you, you Writer/s: ASHLEY TISDALE, JOACIM BO PERSSON, JOHAN ALKENAS, KARA DIOGUARDI, NICLAS AAKE MOLINDER

  • Chelsea from Peoria, AzOne of my favorite songs from my favorite role model!
  • Ivy from Springfield, NeWow she has definitely matured! I'm glad to hear she's lost the "squeakiness" that she sings with in all the high school musicals. The song is a bit . . . traditional . . . you know, an acoustic intro, chorus, second verse with drums, chorus, climax, and then the chorus a few times with her vocalizing over it. I like the way she portrays the message though. 8/10!
