If That's What You Need

[Verse 1]

Talking makes us human

That's what I was told

So why do I find it so difficult

To let my feelings unfold

Had I the courage to tell you

I'd promise you this

[Chorus]

If that's what you need

I'll be the river, I'll be the mountain

Always beside you

If that's what you need

I will be stronger, I will be braver

Than ever before

[Verse 2]

When you came along

And turned it all around

I promised myself I wouldn't tell you

Until we stood on solid ground

Holding the candle between us

I'll tell you this

[Chorus]

If that's what you need

I'll be the river, I'll be the mountain

Always beside you

If that's what you need

I will be stronger, I will be braver

Than ever before

[Bridge]

And if there's any kind of danger

I hear you calling out my name

You can follow in my footsteps

And I will lead you safely back again

[Verse 3]

I never understood you

However hard I tried

But it took me a while until I realised

That all the problems were mine

Holding you nearer to me

To tell you this

[Chorus]

If that's what you need

I'll be the river, I'll be the mountain

Always beside you

If that's what you need

I will be stronger, I will be braver

Than ever before

[Outro]

And when things go wrong

I'll be your conscience there to remind you

All of your life

When you go wrong

I'll be the reason you'll be protected

All of your days
