"The River" lyrics

I wanna dance in the sun
Howl at the moon
Whatever I can to get through to you
'Cause you're miles and miles away

I wrestle at night
With the pain in my heart
I keep to myself
And bleed in the dark
In the morning I say okay

Maybe I'll tell you the truth
'Cause even if it all falls apart
Well, it's not as if I haven't been broken 50 times before

So flow me like a river
You're hungry like the sea
I give you all I have
But even after that
You still want more from me

You're hungry like the river
And I'm open like the sea
How can this be love
When I'm never enough
I'm not what you need

I think the damage was done
Before twenty-one
When someone you trusted
Threatened to run
So you held on with everything

Now I keep filling you up
But there's a hole in the well
And the love that you want is deep in yourself
And I can't do this anymore

So flow me like a river
You're hungry like the sea
I give you all I have
But even after that
You still want more from me

You're hungry like a river
And I'm open like the sea
How can this be love
When I'm never enough
I'm not what you need

I'm not what you need
I'm not what you need

Tell me what you love, it's never enough
I'm not what you need

Tell me what you need
Tell me what you need
Tell me what you need

So flow me like a river
You're hungry like the sea
I give you all I have
But even after that
You still want more from me

Ahhhh (mmm)

So flow me like a river
You're hungry like the sea
I give you all I have
But even after that
You still want more from me

You're hungry like a river
And I'm open like the sea
How can this be love
When I'm never enough
I'm not what you need

Feel my love, feel my love, feel my love babe
Feel my love, feel my love, feel my love babe
Ooo I'm not what you need
I'm not what you need
Mmmm I'm not what you need

Mmmm I'm not what you need
