We both know that I'm a river
Strong enough to wash your love away
We both know that you're a giver
And baby all I do is take

If I'm taking you for granted I don't mean to
Cause if you only knew

How much I need you
Like a sinner needs a prayer
Yea I breathe you
Baby your love gives me air
The way I treat you
Sometimes it isn't fair
I hate that I forget how much I need to
Tell you that I need you, ooh

You let me fall apart completely
I'm like a child in your arms
I go low but you still meet me
I should be careful with your heart

If I'm taking you for granted I don't mean to
Cause if you only knew

How much I need you
Like a sinner needs a prayer
Yea I breathe you
Baby your love gives me air
The way I treat you
Sometimes it isn't fair
I hate that I forget how much I need to
Tell you that I need you, ooh

You've been the rock, I've been the water
You've been the shore, I've been the waves
We can't have one without the other
But it should go both ways

Because I need you
Oh yea I need you
How much I need you
Like a sinner needs a prayer
Yea I breathe you
Baby your love gives me air
The way I treat you
Sometimes it isn't fair
I hate that I forget how much I need to
Tell you that I need you, yea I need you

Tell you that I need you, how much I need you
