  • She closed the door
    She hides behind the face nobody knows
    She feels her skin touch the floor
    She wants to fight
    But her eyes are tired, nobody's on her side
    She wants to feel like she did before

    She looks into her mirror
    Wishing someone could hear her, so loud

    And I need love
    To hold me closer in the night
    Just enough

    I need love
    To hold me closer in the night
    Just enough to feel my body come alive
    When my bones start breaking, my heart starts shaking
    I need love, need love

    Her coffee's cold
    He turned around and said
    "I hope you know you're beautiful
    Have you ever been told?"
    And she's a little shy
    As he walks away, she slowly breaks a smile
    The skies are blue, haven't been for a while

    She looks into her mirror
    Wishing someone could hear her, so loud

    I need love
    To hold me closer in the night
    Just enough to feel my body come alive
    When my bones starts breaking, my heart starts shaking
    I need love, need love

    Oh
    Oh

    She closed the door
    She hides behind the face nobody knows
    She feels her skin touch the floor

    I need love
    To hold me closer in the night
    Just enough to feel my body come alive
    When my bones starts breaking, my heart starts shaking
    I need love, need love

    Oh
