Hey Jess, I heard you talkin' on the telephone
|
And I wish that you could say it to my face
|
I know you think I've changed and I don't love you
|
But I've only reached another time and space.
|
|
I guess we've been avoiding total honesty
|
But we can't leave confrontation on the shelf
|
Though I know that love brought us together
|
In finding one another I almost lost myself.
|
|
Chorus:
|
I need me to be for me, to be free and to discover
|
I need me to be for me, and then we still can be for each other.
|
|
Who am I deprived of my identity
|
If I am not myself when we're apart
|
What is love that mirrors back no sense of me
|
What can I give to you now if it isn't my own heart?
|
|
(Chorus X2)
|
|
And then we still can be for each other.
|

I NEED ME TO BE FOR ME
