Song Lyrics

Yeah
I heard 'em
Laughing it out, tagging 'em out
I heard 'em
Claimin' they back, sayin' they vouch
I heard 'em
Saying they love 'em inside and out
And I'm hurtin'
'Cause I never know what they talkin' about
They walk as pair
Hand in each other's, backing each other
I've never known how that feel
But I've had a dream of it
I long it, I really want it, I need it
Don't I deserve it?
A sisterhood, loving companion
Am I not worth it?
Somebody that'd shield me
Gossipers tryna kill me
I don't feel like I fit in
My friends don't know the real me
I gotta keep my guard up
These questions make it harder
They ask me about my sister like I was making it all up
I'm young and misguided
These things are bruising me
I lose against life so much, it feel like it's losing me
Confused by puberty
And these dudes is using me
People always say they loyal
But that's not what they prove to be
Wouldn't feel like I'm totally losing if I had you with me

I need you
I need you
I need you
I need you
I need you

I need you like I need water
Need you when things get harder
I need you like how I need mom and dad to go get they daughter
I need you (I need you, I , I)
I need you (I need you, I)
Said I need you like I need water
Need you when things get harder
Need you like how I need mom and dad to go get they daughter
I need you, sis (I need you)
I still need you (I need you)

I need somebody to talk to
One I can loan my heart to
I need you to need me
So I can play that part too
Selfish how it all sounds
I'm aware but I'm not proud
I'm giving my pride up for somebody I can hold down
I'm stuck in the shadow of what seems to be a myth
I'm fiending for a sis
You ceasin' to exist
I'm lost in this abyss
What kinda evil shit is this?
I'm tryna figure out my life
And they want me to slit my wrists
Okay, look
God, if even have a sis
It would help knowing I'm not just running circles in the mist
That she's out there thinking 'bout me 'cause I'm worthy to be missed too
I can be patient, but I cannot be this for too long
Alone and expected to be strong
Give me what I've been praying for
Or a sign that I'm wrong
Let me know if I should wait for you
Or if I should move on
With my tears I wrote this song
Still broken 'cause you still gone

I need you
I need you
I need you
I need you
I need you
I need you
I need you

I need you like I need water
Need you when things get harder
I need you like how I need mom and dad to go get they daughter
I need you (I need you, I , I)
I need you (I need you, I)
Said I need you like I need water
Need you when things get harder
Need you like how I need mom and dad to go get they daughter
I need you, sis (I need you)
I still need you (I need you)

(I need you)
