"Really Need You" (Original Song) | Jordan Elyse

An acoustic version of my original song "Really Need You."
I've had this song for well over a year now, and I just kept trying to make it perfect. I've accepted that's it's not gonna be perfect, and looking at it now, I think it's imperfections are what make me love it so much... maybe :)

Lyrics:

Just another day
I woke up too late, but that's alright
I'm not gonna think about it, think about it

I'm having a hard time
With my own mind
It says I'm dumb, it says I'm lazy
Can't help but think about it, think about it

I feel so tired and my brain's tormenting me
I'm so alone, I'm so alone
I wish you were here

I really need you right now
I need someone to talk to, I might have to text you
I really need you right now
I'm sorry to bother you, I just need you to tell me
It's gonna be okay

It's gonna be o-kay, ay, ay, ay, ay

Cause I've been feelin' like

Everything's going wrong, I wasted my summer
I feel like a failure day after day
I don't get enough done
Everything just feels so wrong

And I don't know how you're doing, I just hope you're doing well
And I wish we talked more, but I'm too afraid to start a conversation
Too afraid cause I miss you more than you miss me

And I'm afraid of so much
I'm afraid of my own heart and how I don't know if I'll ever fall in love with anyone
Will I ever fall in love with anyone?
Or will I just be alone forever?

I don't usually talk this fast
But there's so much I wanna say
It's like ripping off a band-aid

I have to speak my mind
But it leaves my bruises visible
Please don't judge me
For being so easily hurt

Cause your judgments hurt

I really need you right now
I need someone to talk to, I might have to text you
I really need you right now
I'm sorry to bother you, I just need you to tell me
It's gonna be okay

It's gonna be o-kay, ay, ay, ay, ay
It's gonna be okay, ooh, ooh
I need you to tell me that it's gonna be okay
