All I Need (a song)

This is a song I wrote recently, the first I've written in a while. It wasn't meant to be so emo. But the tune is coming along, measure by measure. Happiness.

You're still alive
Well what a surprise
Years of dreaming just came back in tides

This time it's harder
We'll start from the end
And walk in reverse until it begins

You had the world
I had a dime
You gave me strength
And as much as I tried
Every effort fell through at my feet
Goodbye, hello, goodbye

How long's it been
Where do we start
To collect our thoughts before we fall apart

But there's too much to say
Nothing comes out
When it's just you and me
I'm humbled easily

You had the world
I had a dime
You gave me strength
And as much as I tried
Every effort fell through at my feet
Goodbye, hello, goodbye

Well my oh my
This just won't do
Swallow your smile and tell me the truth

Show me what I couldn't see
Pick up my pride and have faith in me
That's all I ask for, that's all I need
But with you, I'm too scared to concede

You had the world
I had a dime
You gave me strength
And as much as I tried
Every effort fell through at my feet
Hello, goodbye, goodbye.
