Need You Lyrics by Rachel Platten

I Am Rachel Platten

2024

[Verse 1]
We both know that I'm a river
Strong enough to wash your love away
We both know that you're a giver
And baby, all I do is take
[Pre-Chorus]
If I'm taking you for granted, I don't mean to
'Cause if you only knew
[Chorus]
How much I need you
Like a sinner needs a prayer
Yeah, I breathe you
Baby, your love gives me air
The way I treat you
Sometimes it isn't fair
I hate that I forget how much I need to
Tell you that I need you, ooh
[Verse 2]
You let me fall apart completely
I'm like a child in your arms
I go low, but you still meet me
I should be careful with your heart
[Pre-Chorus]
If I'm taking you for granted, I don't mean to
'Cause if you only knew
[Chorus]
How much I need you
Like a sinnеr needs a prayer
Yeah, I breathе you
Baby, your love gives me air
The way I treat you sometimes it isn't fair
I hate that I forget how much I need to
Tell you that I need you, ooh
[Verse 3]
You’ve been the rock, I’ve been the water
You’ve been the shore, I've been the waves
We can’t have one without the other
But it should go both ways
[Chorus]
Because I need you
Oh yeah, I need you
How much I need you
Like a sinner needs a prayer
Yeah, I breathe you
Baby, your love gives me air
The way I treat you sometimes it isn't fair
[Outro]
I hate that I forget how much I need to
Tell you that I need you, yeah, I need you
Tell you that I need you, how much I need you
