Watch: New Singing Lesson Videos Can Make Anyone A Great Singer
Hey if we can't find a way out of these problems Then maybe we don't need this Standing face to face Enemies at war we build defenses And secret hiding places I might need you to hold me tonight I might need you to say it's all right I might need you to make the first stand Because tonight I'm finding it hard to be your man Hey more than angry words I hate this silence It's getting so loud Well I want to scream But bitterness has silenced these emotions It's getting hard to breathe So tell me isn't happiness Worth more than a gold and diamond ring? I'm willing to do anything To calm the storm in my heart I've never been the praying kind But lately I've been down upon my knees Not looking for a miracle Just a reason to believe I might need you to hold me tonight I might need you to say it's all right I might need you to make the first stand Because tonight I'm finding it hard to be your man Do you remember not long ago? When we used to live for the night-time Cherish each moment Now we don't live we exist We just run through our lives So alone That's why you've got to hold me Hey, if we can't find a way out of these problems Then maybe we don't need this Standing face to face Enemies at war we build defenses And secret hiding places I might need you to hold me tonight I might need you to say it's all right I might need you to make the first stand Because tonight I'm finding it hard to be your man
