You Ease My Pain

I hate to be bitter with you

But lately I've just been struck by my problems

I need an alternative release

But you're always there beside me and I

Use it as my advantage

To say

Anything I want to for me to cool down

I didn't mean to hurt you

I hope you understand

I notice every time I awaken

You're there whispering such sweet things

So softly in my ear

But I keep turning you away

Pushing you back

Please understand

I still need you near

I'm just wrapped in my problems

So wrapped up in my problems

But baby

No matter what I say

No matter what I do

You know I'm still needing you

Even if I turn you away

Just means I want you to stay

Please hold on to me

'Cause you ease my pain

And even in the early hours

Of each and every morning beside you

I see you try get close to me

You're always smiling so wonderfully but I

Tell you go

Tell you leave

Saying I need my privacy

But I know in the end

I'm missing you when you're gone

When it's late, sweet night

The sky's looking so beautiful without denial

Even then I can shun you

Such a frequent change of moods

And I

Really don't know how

To tell you I'm sorry 'cause I know it's not right

And you've done nothing to deserve this

But baby

No matter what I say

No matter what I do

You know I'm still needing you

Even if I turn you away

Just means I want you to stay

Please hold on to me

'Cause you ease my pain

And when silence falls between us

I just want you to know I'm thinking about all I've done

And all the terrible things I said

Baby, I didn't really mean it

You're all I ever need

Always there beside me

Please don't leave

I'm just wrapped up in my problems

So wrapped up in my problems

No matter what I say

No matter what I do

You know I'm still needing you

Even if I turn you away

Just means I want you to stay

Please hold on to me

'Cause you ease my pain

(x2)

No matter what I say

No matter what I do

Oooh

I'm still needing you
