Notice me
Take my hand
Why are we
Strangers when
Our love is strong
Why carry on without me
Everytime I try to fly I fall, without my wings
I feel so small
I guess I need you baby
And everytime I see, you in my dreams, I see your face
It's haunting me
I guess I need you baby
I make-believe
That you are here
It's the only way
I see clear
What have I done
You seem to move on easy
And Everytime I try to fly I fall, without my wings
I feel so small
I guess I need you baby
And everytime I see, you in my dreams I see your face
Your haunting me
I guess I need you baby
I may have made it rain
Please forgive me
My weakness caused you pain
And this song's my sorry
At night I pray
That soon your face will fade away
And Everytime I try to fly I fall, without my wings
I feel so small
I guess I need you baby
And everytime I see, you in my dreams, I see your face
Your haunting me
I guess I need you baby
Take my hand
Why are we
Strangers when
Our love is strong
Why carry on without me
Everytime I try to fly I fall, without my wings
I feel so small
I guess I need you baby
And everytime I see, you in my dreams, I see your face
It's haunting me
I guess I need you baby
I make-believe
That you are here
It's the only way
I see clear
What have I done
You seem to move on easy
And Everytime I try to fly I fall, without my wings
I feel so small
I guess I need you baby
And everytime I see, you in my dreams I see your face
Your haunting me
I guess I need you baby
I may have made it rain
Please forgive me
My weakness caused you pain
And this song's my sorry
At night I pray
That soon your face will fade away
And Everytime I try to fly I fall, without my wings
I feel so small
I guess I need you baby
And everytime I see, you in my dreams, I see your face
Your haunting me
I guess I need you baby

This song sounds very vulnerable. Like many have said, it's about her dependence on [Justin]. Though she has been doing some crazy things at the time the song was released, she still thinks about him. Also, she is apologizing for the pain she caused him.
it's fragile
it's true
Perhaps that's why I respect this song so much because it is the opposite of anything she has ever done and because she wrote it herself. Whilst every other song I have heard by her has been throw away trash with over processed vocals and hollow lyrics this song has true feeling, it's written from real experience and as a result everyone can relate to it.
It's not even as if she has attempted to display a hidden intelligence or depth, the lyrics are very simple but drip with meaning and sentiment and for the first time you can actually hear her natural voice and it sounds half decent! Even the live SNL rendition on youtube goes a long way to answering those who claim she is unable to sing.
If it was any other song by her I would hate it but this song is just so beautifully honest and mournful and while normally she is one of the worst offenders for spewing artificial nonsense with no relevance to anyone's life but this song is the opposite, even the piano goes through you, the first time I heard it my spine tingled and as much as I HATED to admit it I loved the song right away.
This is such a simple song but it's sincerity is undeniable and that is why you will find the most unlikely people admitting to liking it.
I'm a big, hairy, grumpy kinda fella but 30 seconds of this song has me wanting to blub like a baby and reaching for my phone to text my wife how much I love her.
Like I said, all her other music is awful but this song connects with me in a way only a few songs ever have, it's tragic and fragile and honest and it's beautiful because of those things.
I didn't choose to like this song, it pained me to admit I liked this song but I truly believe there are few people who's hair doesn't stand on end when listening.
This song is so different, so superior to anything else she has ever done because it has EFFORTLESS SINCERITY.
IMO
She's basically saying she's sorry for everything she did.. "My weakness caused you pain, and this song is my sorry"
This is one of my favorites by her... They were young..it didn't work. Poor thing..I am sure that song had some painful meaning for her..
I'm so surprised (impressed) that this song was actually written by her. How come this is even better than those written by professionals?
The lines are simple, yet the feeling within is strong.
'Everytime I see you in my dreams
I see your face, you're haunting me'
Those unforgettable faces do haunt us somehow.
It's usually hard for broken pairs to move on, and obviously it's been tough, extremely tough for her to, and Justin was already moving on quite well.
Not a Britney fan, but undeniably this is a touching song, it made me wanna pray for her.
It's a touching, miserable, sad song ('this song is my sorry')and I've to say, I love it.
