I Need You Now
Agnes Lyrics

I'm fine, don't believe it
I'm not actually fine, even though I'm saying that I am.

You know me enough to know that's a lie
You're close enough to me to be able to tell when I'm not doing well, even if I'm trying to hide it.

I'm close, hard as it is to say
I'm on the brink of something really difficult or painful, and it's hard for me to even admit that to myself.

To total disaster, barely holding on
If things continue like this, it's going to be a complete disaster. I'm right on the edge and barely keeping it together.

I need you now
I need your help and support more than ever.

I need you now, don't turn away
I need you to be there for me, don't abandon me when I'm most vulnerable.

I need you now, oh, please don't turn me away
I'm begging you, please don't reject me when I'm asking for your help.

Out here where I've been spinning
I feel lost and out of control, like I'm spinning out of orbit.

It's nearly impossible to slow down
I'm going so fast that it's difficult to even imagine the idea of slowing down or stopping.

One night of your company
Just spending time with you for one evening could be the thing that helps me feel better.

Might be the only thing to keep me sane
I'm so close to the edge that even a small gesture of support from you could make a huge difference in my mental state.

The clock is ticking and the fuse is burning
Time is running out and things are getting more and more intense.

Can't keep runnin' from what is coming
I can't avoid the difficult times forever; eventually I'll have to confront them head-on.

(Don't turn me away)
I'm begging you not to reject me or cut me off when I'm vulnerable like this.

How many times have I come to you vulnerable like this?
I'm realizing that I've relied on you to support me in the past, and I hate that I have to do it again now.

I know you have the right to question, but please don't ask
I recognize that you might want to know why I'm struggling or what's going on, but right now I don't have the energy to explain it.

The clock is ticking and the fuse is burning
Time is running out and I'm feeling more and more desperate.

(Oh, I need you now)
I'm really hoping that you'll be able to help me, because I don't know if I can make it through this on my own.

I need you now
I need you to be there for me more than ever.

I need you now, don't turn away
I'm begging you not to abandon me when I'm in such a fragile state.

I need you now, ohh, please don't turn me away
I'm desperate for your help and support, please don't push me away or reject me.

Can't keep runnin' from what is coming
I can't avoid the tough times forever; eventually I'll have to face them head-on.

I need you now, I need you now, I need you now
I'm feeling really overwhelmed and scared, and I need you to be there for me every step of the way.
