Well, I had fallen down again, I had nowhere to go
You had bolted your doors and closed your window
Still a crack in your wall that I could see through
I saw your house was empty and I rode out to meet you
Pre-Chorus
But the city was cold confusing and vast
And the light in my soul was fading fast
Slung towards the back streets and the alleys where the drunks fight
I walked on past the factories in ever-dying sunlight
I needed you
I needed you
I needed you, but you never came for me
Instrumental
Many years now have passed, and you've not left my mind
And memories like photographs have faded in time
I walked past the cafes and the nightclubs
I walked past the beggars and the ladies with their white gloves
Pre-Chorus
I know it won't be long now
It's getting near the end
My ribs are poking through and my coat is getting thin
I needed you
Yeah, I needed you
You see, I needed you, oh, but you never came for me
Instrumental
So I walked back to where I'd once called home
But the rooms were dark and bare and the garden overgrown
And the door was still locked and the windows still shut
And the wall was still cracked
Why did I come back?
And the answer so thin left me hollow within
'Cos nothing had changed except the date and my age
And I still have this pain bloating my veins
Dadd4
I needed you
Yeah, I needed you
You see, I needed you, but you never came for me
Instrumental
Outro
So I turned away from my madness
Thought I saw a light flicker by the door
I closed down both of my eyelids and I thought no more
