REO Speedwagon
"I Needed to Fall"

So close to given up
Never before been so broken
Can I hold on long enough
Are there words yet left unspoken

Can I rise above the burning sea
Or am I human after all
Maybe I'm just higher than a man should be
Maybe I needed to fall

I needed to fall and come back stronger
I needed to crawl to find my way
And I pray we can look back on it all
Knowing that I needed to fall in love with you

So tired of living up
To an image laid upon me
Can I ever be enough
It all seems so far beyond me

And I take this weight upon my shoulders
While I appear to stand so tall
Thinking I can carry the world forever
Maybe I needed to fall

I needed to fall and come back stronger
I needed to crawl to find my way
And I pray we can look back on it all
Knowing that I needed to fall in love with you

There is just so much a man can bear
Until he starts to find it hard to care
And baby, I'm almost there

I needed to fall and come back stronger
I needed to crawl to find my way
And I pray we can look back on it all
Knowing that I needed to fall in love with you
