It's late again, and I'm staring at the ceiling These walls don't echo back the things I'm feeling I keep my heart behind a quiet smile But I've been lonely for a while I talk in circles, hoping someone hears The hidden language of my doubts and fears Every word I say is just a sign That I'm searching for a spark to find Don't need a hero, don't need a cure Just someone who sees the truth for sure A soul that knows the weight I bear Someone who's simply there I just need someone to understand me To read the pages I can't show Someone who stays when nights demand me To fight the battles no one knows Not to fix me, not to change me Just to stand where I can't stand All I'm asking for is someone Someone to understand I've worn a thousand masks, played every part But silence always tells what's in my heart I don't want perfect, I don't need plans I just want someone to hold my hands Don't need an answer, don't need control Just a little warmth to fill this soul A light that shines when I feel small A voice that hears it all I just need someone to understand me To read the pages I can't show Someone who stays when nights demand me To fight the battles no one knows Not to fix me, not to change me Just to stand where I can't stand All I'm asking for is someone Someone to understand Maybe love is quiet, maybe love is near Maybe it's a whisper that I've yet to hear I'll keep hoping, I'll keep my heart wide For the one who sees the pain I hide I just need someone to understand me To read the pages I can't show Someone who stays when nights demand me To fight the battles no one knows Not to fix me, not to change me Just to stand where I can't stand All I'm asking for is someone Someone to understand Someone to understand me Can you hear me? Can you feel me? I'm not asking for too much Just stay, just stay Understand me (oh, oh) Understand me (oh, oh) I don't need a hero, don't need a plan I just need someone who understands
