what i need

when life shatters
and everything comes tumbling down
when everything you once knew
is nowhere to be found
that's when you hold me

when i'm broken
in pieces to small to be found
and i'm dying inside
love is not around
you breathe life in me

when words don't speak
i'm too lost
in the moment
when things are dire and bleak
your words whisper to me

it's all i can do
to love you
to believe in you
there's nothing i can say
to make you leave
or drive you away

you are what i need
