I Need Someone

I wrote this after my dad was diagnosed with stomach cancer. I stare at this blank page
Not knowing what to say
Or express how I feel
I want to let it all out

All I know is that
My life feels like one giant bad dream
And as the tears fall
I try to find hope
Or a way to push through it all

Chorus:
But there is one thing I know
That I need someone
To stand by my side
To hold my hand
To just be there

Even if I can't explain what I feel
Or why I feel this way
I wish with a snap of my fingers
I could be me again
And not this person I'm not

I can wipe away the tears
Stand tall like nothing is wrong
But doesn't change the fact
That inside I am breaking

Chorus:
With all I can't explain
And all that I can hide
I need someone
To stand by my side
To hold my hand
And be there

I want to reach out
But I don't know what to say
I'm just trying to keep myself together
The string is becoming thin
And I am terrifed to break

Chorus:
I need someone
To stand by my side
To hold my hand
To be there

And maybe I will find the strength
To speak what cramps my head
And shed the tears
I'm afraid to show
To anyone other than you
