I Needed To Fall - REO Speedwagon

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
