I Need To Know
The Hours Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can see you in my mama, eyes felt the loss of you when my father died
I can see when people missing you, they tell me that you blind somehow you see me through
Thought I had you for like a year or two, captured imposters turns out it wasn't true
I been chasing you most of my life, never had the definition right
You are what my family's lacking, they can put you on a shirt but it doesn't compare to the action
Maneuver me through the madness, saved me when I was careless, burdens you help me bear it
My soul would probably be buried without you
I just know that it was you and I first
I just know that it was you and I first, when we started this
Priceless rubies never value your worth
Precious blessings ever found on earth
Yeah I'm talking bout you
You are, my heart
You are, my voice
We Are, for life
My right, my choice
And if I got you by my side, I know everything will be alright
You are all I need

Been Ignoring the signs, didn't know I was on your mind
I feel regretful just thinking about these thoughts, those moments that I've lost
Amount of the diamonds won't pay cost and wish I could take it back if just I could, but I know can't
Just knowing you wanted me hurts my brain, now gruesome sorrows a pill I gotta swallow
I need a change and if you could take me back one again, I'll prove myself to be what you saw in me
I miss it being we, I'm missing you and I, when life simplified, that's my right hand straight to God
You are what I need
I promise to wait here, if you'll come back to me
I promise I'll be here, just please come back for me

I just know that it was you and I first
I just know that it was you and I first, when we started this
Priceless rubies never value your worth
Precious blessings ever found on earth
Yeah I'm talking bout you
You are, my heart
You are, my voice
We Are, for life
My right, my choice
And if I got you by my side, I know everything will be alright
You are all I need

Through all the pain
You remained
Unchanged
Unfeigned

To tell the truth
My heart dissolves
In thirst of you
We're so confused
We lie to hide from feeling you

You suffered long with me
Never ever behave unseemly
When I couldn't receive
There You waited Patiently





Don't you know you are my love?
