It's like...

It's like asking why without the how
It's like living the THEN but not the NOW
It's like having the sun without light
It's like having day without night

It's like talking but you can't speak
It's like being strong but completely weak
It's like a smile without the shine
It's like saying the right thing without the right line...

You can't have a wrong without the right
You need two things to make this relationship tight
Two things, opposite to each other
To collide to make up one another

You can't live if you can't die
You can't smile if you can't cry
You can't love without a heart
You can't end without a start

What's a day if you don't have a night?
What's the point of seeing if nothing is in sight?
What's the point of talking if nobody hears you?
What's the point of running with no one to run to?

You can't live this life alone
Try it...you'll be lonely down to the bone
You need someone completely different from you
To make you complete in everything you do

You need the day like you need night
You need the wrong just like you need the right
You need the water and you need the fire
You need the truth like you need a liar

You need me like i need you...
I can't do the things i use to do
I need you to do what i don't
When i want to give up, you won't

I need you to be by my side
To be there when i need to confide
And you need me to make you smile
To make you laugh for a while

We need each other and i know it's true
You made me realize that i need you
The past is done and I've moved on
He's gone now, but you and me will get along
