Realize
Realize (What You Need)
I remember when we first met; I saw a pretty face
But what I need in my life is someone real
In my experience (and that’s not much), but vanity, seemed just for touch
What I need is someone who can feel
What I need is someone who can feel
Why is it that the one we want; seems far away or so out of touch
Why is it that the one I want; is not the one I need
She’s not; she’s not the one for me
The time has past and I’ve arrived; at the same confusion in her eyes
But I know what she wants and it’s not me
She’s so much more than what I thought; she’s not just a pretty face
But I know what she wants and it’s not me
Desire clouds our minds to what we need
Why is it that the one we want; seems far away or so out of touch
Why is it that the one she wants; is not the one she needs
Why cant; why can’t she see me
I came to realize that I was blind; and all I want I would never find
As long as I kept following desire
Bur now when we talk I can feel my smile; and all my days now seem worth while
Suddenly, my cold life has a fire
Finally, my cold life has a fire
Why is it that the one we want; seems far away or so out of touch
Why is it that the one I want; does NOT (feel the same for me)
~~~~~~~~
Forget about what you think you want, and focus on what you need
Forget about all you fear inside, have faith in what you believe
You gotta be strong; you gotta be proud
You gotta stand up; you gotta be loud
You’ll find everything that you want, when you realize what you need
You’ll find everything that you want, when you realize what you need
Cause I found everything that I want
When I realized; what, I need
And now my needs are clear to me; I talk to you all the time
Your blind…. ness is what keeps us apart
If only you would open up; and see me for who I am
I think that you would see me with your heart
Oh, close your eyes and open up your heart
Why is it that the one we want; seems far away or so out of touch
Why is it that the one you want; is NOT the one you need
Why can’t; why can’t you see me
I remember when we first met; cause I saw your pretty face
But I, fell in love with you, because you’re…. reeeeal!
