Close your eyes and count to ten just to mask how many times
I will let you down just don't talk to me I said that I was sorry
I'm not the one you want can't you see I'm dying now
I'm trying to rest here let me be the failure
I've become this paper is my deathbed this pen will be my tears
Now just keep on counting till I lose my breathe

I act like I left her, but I really beg her to stay
And the more that I press her is the more she slips away
Act like I don't need her but Yo, you're necessary
Like ten days from now I won't see your face when I sleep
Act like I can hear, but Jah knows I'm deaf
Act like I can see but now, yo, from me sight has left
Act like I don't know but, I know these things
Act like I don't feel it but I'm gonna feel it, every morning now on
Each morning, on each night
When I need you by my side
On each morning and on each night
When I need you
Like I don't care but each and every time
Your face comes across it never ever leaves my mind
Oh, like I don't know but I know your thing
Like I don't feel it, but I'm gonna feel it every evening now on -
Each morning, on each night
When I need you by my side
On each morning and on each night
When I need you
I act like I left her, but the truth is I beg her, beg her to stay
And the more that I press her, means all the more that she slips away
Act like I don't need her, but I'm here to tell you that you're necessary
Like ten days from now I won't see your face when I'm on -
Each morning, on each night
When I need you by my side
On each morning and on each night
When I need you by my side
- On each morning and on each night when I need you so desperately
