“When I Needed You” by Carly Rae Jepsen Lyrics

What if we could go back?
We could take the words back
You could take my love back
And brush my hair behind my ear
I don’t know what you wanted
I tried to be so perfect
I thought that it was worth it
To let myself just disappear

You come to me in dreams at night (come to me in dreams at night)
I wake up and I see the light

Sometimes I wish that I could change
But not for me, for you
So we could be together, forever
But I know, I know that I won’t change for you
‘Cause where were you for me
When I needed someone?
When I needed someone?
When I needed you, hey?
When I needed you, hey?

Once upon a time I
Thought you were the hero
I waited for you all night
I closed my eyes and slept for years
You kissed me like a sunrise
I feel it through my forehead
I felt it like a goodbye
I’m not myself

Sometimes I wish that I could change
But not for me, for you
So we could be together, forever
But I know, I know that I won’t change for you
‘Cause where were you for me
When I needed someone?
When I needed someone?
When I needed you, hey?
When I needed you, hey?

You come to me in dreams at night
You come to me in dreams at night

I don’t want to work it out
I’m not goin’ to work it out
I don’t want to work it out
No I’m not going to still

Sometimes I wish that I could change
But not for me, for you
So we could be together, forever
But I know, I know that I won’t change for you
‘Cause where were you for me
When I needed someone?
When I needed someone?
When I needed
When I needed
When I needed you?
When I needed you?
When I needed you?
