I was lost in paradise

I was washed ashore

I was praying someone

Would walk right through that door.

I was hung in effigy

I was flayed alive

I was lost and lonely

And struggling to survive.


Say that you need me

Say that you care

Say you believe in me

(say it, say it, say it)

And Ill be there, oh yeah.


I was baked alaska

Burning deep inside

I was wandering round this earth

Trying to find a place to hide.

I was mr. heartache

I was ripped and torn

I was hardly living

Until you came along.


(chorus)


Come on and say it

Whisper in my ear

Come on.


A ripple of uncertainty

Became a tide of change

That wave became an ocean

Now youre out of range.

Seen heaven in a rainbow

Many splendid things

None compare, none come close

Youre my everything


Say that you need me

Say that you care

Say you believe in me

Say it, mean it, say it, and mean it

Say it, and mean it, say it

And Ill be there, oh yeah.
