Everyday
I keep on lying to you
I just don't know what to do but I do
So leave me alone
I just wanna stay here at home
So far away from whatever
Some might say or some might do

Just as I thought
I've found someone that needs me
Someone that needs me so much
And just as before
It's that someone who needs me
Someone I needed so much

But it's you
Spinning me out of control
Hurting me deep in my soul
Or so I'm told,
I just wanna stop
'Cos nothing's as bad as it seems and
I can't be bothered so stay a while and tell me what it mean’s.

Just as I thought
I'd found someone that needs me
Someone that needs me so much
And just as before it's that someone who needs me
Someone I needed so much

Now I'll tell you the truth
’Bout what I should do,
Why I can't stand you no more
There's a time and a place
And my life's such a waste and
Everything had to go wrong
It's just what I needed.

Just as I thought
I'd found someone that needs me
Someone that needs me so much
And just as before it's that someone who needs me
Someone I needed so much
