I’ve been stealing breaths and borrowing time
A question lingering, yearning to know why
How it must feel nice to be needed
How it must feel nice just to be needed
Relish the memories before becoming an afterthought
This is the pain, the pinch, that reality brought
We hang on words that breathe the emptiest rhetoric
And we find no substantial way that we could even better it
I’ve been stealing breaths and borrowing time
A question lingering, yearning to know why
How it must feel nice to be needed
How it must feel nice just to be needed
There is a hollow statue where a man once stood
We followed all the steps, oh, but we misunderstood
Seize the day, but it seems the day struck first
To reveal the myths of the ones well versed
I’ve been stealing breaths and borrowing time
A question lingering, yearning to know why
How it must feel nice to be needed
How it must feel nice just to be needed
I am the name that has lost its touch
Just more of the same, of which we had seen too much
How it must feel nice to be needed
How it must feel nice just to be needed
How it must feel nice to be needed
How it must feel nice just to be needed
