~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I need a special kind of something
But what? I've won my shield, killed my greatest enemy, all I ever wanted. And yet I'm still drifting in the wind, without purpose after all I've achieved.
Somebody said I would make it big,
Coram, aye he knew I could be a great warrior, I was born to it.
Somebody said I could be the kid
To go all the way
The greatest?
To go all the way.
Maybe, he'd say.
My daddy said learn and you will go far,
Learn, he said, of books and maidenly duties, that was never for me. I never wanted it.
Gotta reach up for the highest star,
My shield was all I desired.
That's what he said, so that's what I did.
In a round about way. My shield became my quest.
And nobody said that I would feel this pain,
Coram told me all about the physical pain, but this, I'm unprepared for
Nobody said that I would feel this way
The feelings of loneliness and wanting
Now I need to explain
But to whom?
I got something to give,
Me, that's all.
I need someone to hold,
Someone to stop this empty feeling.
I need a special kind of something,
Still I don't know what I'm missing.
'Cause I don't wanna be alone,
Since I left George that's what I've been.
I wanna learn how to love,
As Jon tried to teach me.
I need to know how to care,
As George tried to teach me.
I got this special kind of something
Something that makes me unique,
That I just need to share
But with whom?
I didn't really think about the consequence
I wanted to be a knight so bad I didn't think ahead, to when I would have to settle down as other knights do.
I got a one-way ticket out of innocence
That choice changed my life, there's no changing it now,
But that was my dream
To be a knight.
And this is my dream
I finally made it.
I can't spend another night on my own
It's too much to bear
Never in my life felt so alone
My friends are so far away, too far.
Tell me can I explain
To them? I don't know.
I got something to give,
Me, that's all.
I need someone to hold,
Someone to stop this empty feeling.
I need a special kind of something,
Love? Caring?
'Cause I don't wanna be alone,
Since I left George that's what I've been.
I wanna learn how to love,
As Jon tried to teach me.
I need to know how to care,
Like only a woman can.
I got this special kind of something
Something that makes me unique,
That I just need to share…with you.
With him?
And if I keep pretending,
That I don't know what he's doing
How will you know
Can he see me well enough with those sea green eyes, to know?
The message I keep sending?
Can he see the pleading in mine?
I got this special kind of something,
But I don't know how to do this,
That I need to show
To you?
I got something to give,
Myself, always myself.
I need someone to hold,
Will you stop this empty feeling?
I need a special kind of something,
Your love? And caring?
'Cause I don't wanna be alone,
You can help me.
I wanna learn how to love,
Try to teach me, as Jon tried to teach me.
I need to know how to care,
Please?
I got this special kind of something
I'm sure you can see it,
That I just need to share
With you.
(Something to give)
My heart, my soul, if you'll take it.
(Someone to hold)
Will you be there for me?
(A special kind of something)
A lover, an equal.
(Don't wanna be alone)
But I won't if you're there with me.
I need a special kind of something
'Cause I don't wanna be alone
(Learn how to love)
Teach me how
(Know how to care)
Care for you? Or maybe even care for me?
(A special kind of something)
I'm special,
(I just need to share)
And willing to share.
I got a special kind of something
That I just need to share
With you.
