Names omitted to protect the guilty

i need to hear "i'm sorry"
to feel your arms wrapped around me

i need to see the love in your eyes
comfort me, goddamn it!

i need to know i matter
even if it's only illusion

give me that much
tell yourself it's only pretend

i don't care if you lie
fake it if you have to

i just need you to be there for me
once in a while
