I'll die before I get to sleep When screaming shadows haunt my dreams I'm cold and soaking wet when daylight shows its face This fear will always get in your way And I can hear so much That I miss it everyday It finds me deep in love and deeper down the lane I don't know too much but I know what I want to say I Just Need Myself Please leave me when you see me fall Oh please I have to climb that wall And from the top of it you can nearly see your face But don't let this ever get in your way And I can hear so much That I miss it everyday It finds me deep in love and deeper down the lane I don't know too much but I know what I want to say I Just Need Myself I'm not going to walk on sinking sand I'll sail this day to higher land And when the sun is high, and I'll let my music say These things will never get in your way And I can hear so much That I miss it everyday It finds me deep in love and deeper down the lane I don't know too much but I know what I want to say I Just Need Myself
