I sew his shirts
I kiss goodnight
I smile when he
Forgets to write
My lipstick fades, my coffee's cold
I'm growing young and feeling old
He holds my hand, but not my heart
We kiss, but never really start
He turns away, I stay and pray
Another word he'll never say
Is there somebody to hold me?
Somebody to see me cry
Somebody to feel when I'm breaking
And whisper love without goodbye
Is there somebody to hold me?
Somebody to need me too
I'm not a ghost, I'm not a stranger
I'm just a woman... needing you
I wear perfume he used to praise
But now his smile looks far away
My mirror knows, my shadow sighs
This love is made of alibis
I whisper dreams in empty air
And reach for arms that aren't there
Is love just luck or just a lie?
I'm tired of being brave and shy
Is there somebody to hold me?
Somebody who won't let go
Somebody to warm the silence
When the world turns soft and low
Is there somebody to hold me?
Somebody to know my name
I've given all I have to give
But I still dream of how love lives
Somebody to hold me
Somebody to know me
Somebody to love me for me
