Been running from these feelings for so long,
Telling my heart I didn't need you,
Pretending I was better off alone,
But I know that it's just a lie.

So afraid to take a chance again...
So afraid of what I'd feel inside...
But I need to be next to you (need to be next to you).

oh I, oh I,
I need to share every breath with you (share every breath with you).

Oh I, oh I
I need to know I can see you smiling each morning,
Look into your eyes each night
For the rest of my life.
Here with you, near with you...

Oh I, Oh I,
I need to be next to you.
Need to be - next to you.
Right here with you is right where I belong.
I'll lose my mind if I can't see you...
Without you there is nothing in this life
That would make life worth living for.
I can't bear the thought of you not here.
I can't fight what I feel anymore.
'Cause I need to be next to you (need to be next to you).

Oh I, oh I,
I need to share every breath with you (share every breath with you)

Oh I, oh I,
I need to know I can see you smiling each morning,
Look into your eyes each night
For the rest of my life.
Here with you, near with you.

Oh I, oh I
I need to be next to you.
I need to have your heart next to mine
For all the time.
Hold you for all my life.
I need to be next to you.
I need to be next to you (to be next to you).

Oh I, oh I,
Need to be, need to be next to you...
Share every breath with you...

Oh, oh I,
I need to feel you in my arms, babe (oh...)
in my arms, babe (oh I...)
I need to be next to you
oh I, oh I
(oh I...)
