Needed You Tonight Lyrics
My every breath is a prayer for you
You know I’m waiting there for you
I’d rather learn to live with you and suffer
Than to see you in the arms of another
And now my heart aches, a little
Now my heart breaks, a little
I lie awake, in the middle
Of a cold empty room with one light
I needed you tonight
I am not your tool or your born again fool
I’m not in the mood to serenade sorrow
There was a time when I could get by
But this was once upon a lie
And now my heart it aches, a little
Now my heart breaks, a little
I lie awake, in the middle
Of a pain with no end in sight
I needed you tonight
Violin is my instrument of choice
It recognizes the pain in my voice
Now you’re the “R” and are we gonna make it
And you put the “T” in I just can’t take it
But now my heart aches, a little
And my heart it breaks, a little
And I lie awake, in the middle
Of a cold empty room with no light
You know I’m waiting there for you
I’d rather learn to live with you and suffer
Than to see you in the arms of another
Now my heart breaks, a little
I lie awake, in the middle
Of a cold empty room with one light
I needed you tonight
I’m not in the mood to serenade sorrow
There was a time when I could get by
But this was once upon a lie
Now my heart breaks, a little
I lie awake, in the middle
Of a pain with no end in sight
I needed you tonight
It recognizes the pain in my voice
Now you’re the “R” and are we gonna make it
And you put the “T” in I just can’t take it
And my heart it breaks, a little
And I lie awake, in the middle
Of a cold empty room with no light

One of my favorites on Lifeline, it doesn't really need explanation. The way the music kicks in fast, then slows down throughout the song is just brilliant to me. And Ben's voice is so powerful and so smooth when necessary.
