If I told you that I needed you
Would you stand by my side?
Could I count on you to aid me?
Would you comfort me if I cried?

If my world were crashing down on me
Would I still see you there?
'Cause I need to know you are
I wish I knew if you still cared

If I told you that I love you
That I'm suffering inside
Would you give it up for me
Or again cast me aside?

If I could only read your thoughts
And know where you are tonight
Maybe we would find our way again
Or maybe things will never be alright
