Needed You Tonight Lyrics

Ben Harper & The Innocent Criminals Needed You Tonight

My every breath is a prayer for you
You know I?m waiting there for you
I?d rather learn to live with you and suffer, suffer
Than to see you in the arms of another

And now my heart aches a little
Now my heart breaks a little
I lie awake in the middle
Of a cold empty room with one light
I needed you tonight

I am not your tool or your born again fool
I?m not in the mood to serenade sorrow
There was a time when I could get by
But this was once upon a lie

And now my heart it aches a little
Now my heart breaks a little
I lie awake in the middle
Of a pain with no end in sight
I needed you tonight

Violin is my instrument of choice
It recognizes the pain in my voice
Now you?re the R and are we gonna make it?
And you put the T in I just can?t take it

But now my heart aches a little
And my heart breaks a little
And I lie awake in the middle
Of a cold empty room with no light
