Brett Eldredge - The One You Need Lyrics

Brett Eldredge Lyrics

"The One You Need"

When it's cold outside
And you can't sleep
When there's no one else
Let me be the one you need
When your hope goes out
Like a ship at sea
If it don't come back
Oh, let me be the one you need

Rest your head here, pull me closer
I'll hold you tight while you let go, girl
I could love you if you just let me
Be the one you, be the one you need

When you fly too high
When you sink too deep
When you're lost out there
Oh, let me be the one you need
When those falling stars
Don't line up your dreams
Before it breaks your heart
Oh, let me be the one you need

Rest your head here, pull me closer
I'll hold you tight while you let go, girl
I could love you if you just let me
Be the one you, be the one you need

Oh, eh

I've spent most my life
Thinkin' love was out of reach
So maybe just this once
You could be the one I need
If you let me be the one you need

Brett Eldredge told The Boot about this song, "'The One You Need' was probably the song that I was most excited to record. It just meant something so deeply when we were writing it; in fact, the first time I've ever cried while recording a worktape. Just on a phone, we were just recording, and by the end and the last line, I started crying because the vulnerability of, you know, 'Let me be the one you need', it's like opening up at the fact that I could really be something for somebody..."
