Needed You Tonight Lyrics - Singles - Ben Harper & The Innocent Criminals

My every breath is a prayer for you 

You know Im waiting there for you 

Id rather learn to live with you and suffer, suffer 

Than to see you in the arms of another 

And now my heart aches a little 

Now my heart breaks a little 

I lie awake in the middle 

Of a cold empty room with one light 

I needed you tonight 

I am not your tool or your born again fool 

Im not in the mood to serenade sorrow 

There was a time when I could get by 

But this was once upon a lie 

And now my heart it aches a little 

Now my heart breaks a little 

I lie awake in the middle 

Of a pain with no end in sight 

I needed you tonight 

Violin is my instrument of choice 

It recognizes the pain in my voice 

Now youre the R and are we gonna make it? 

And you put the T in I just cant take it 

But now my heart aches a little 

And my heart breaks a little 

And I lie awake in the middle 

Of a cold empty room with no light
