I learned something about myself

During this time away from you

That is I cannot deny needing you

I wont deceive myself

Fo' show, I like to feel independent

To rely on my own strengthen

I resent pity and turn down alms

Even when I'm fatigue my pride is ever vibrant

However, I cannot deny needing you

I wont deceive myself

Naturally, I hesitate to open up

Realizing that in their chattering people commit chilling treachery against themselves

Spilling their deepest secrets and weakness

Recklessly revealing their Achilles Heels

But even with these inclinations

I cannot deny needing you

I wont deceive myself

Before I heard that the truth sets you free

Now I can swear that it does indeed

Back when I would deny needing you

Unknowingly my lies were drowning me in the deepest pool

And I had not the faintest clue how to swim

But then Truth came to my rescue, along with Love, his twin

At that moment I stop suppressing my feelings

And as I accepted them, my denies were as broke shackles

Then I found myself swimming to the surface, where I gasped for air

My life had been spared

That is why my dear

I cannot deny needing you

I wont deceive myself
