the one who survives by making the lives
of others worthwhile
she's coming apart
right before my eyes
the one who depends on the services she renders
to those who come knocking
she's seeing too clearly what she can't be
what understanding defies
she says I need not to need
or else a love with intuition
someone who reaches out to my weakness and won't let go
I need not to need
I've always been the tower
but now I feel like I'm the flower trying to bloom in snow
she turns out the light anticipating night falling
tenderly around her
and watches the dusk
the words won't come
she carries the act so convincingly the fact is
sometimes she believes it
that she can be happy the way things are
be happy with the things she's done
reach out
but hold back
where is safety
reach out
and hold back
where is the one who can change me
where is the one
the one
the one
reach out
but hold back
where is safety
reach out
and hold back
where is the one who can save me
where is the one
the one
the one
of others worthwhile
she's coming apart
right before my eyes
the one who depends on the services she renders
to those who come knocking
she's seeing too clearly what she can't be
what understanding defies
she says I need not to need
or else a love with intuition
someone who reaches out to my weakness and won't let go
I need not to need
I've always been the tower
but now I feel like I'm the flower trying to bloom in snow
she turns out the light anticipating night falling
tenderly around her
and watches the dusk
the words won't come
she carries the act so convincingly the fact is
sometimes she believes it
that she can be happy the way things are
be happy with the things she's done
reach out
but hold back
where is safety
reach out
and hold back
where is the one who can change me
where is the one
the one
the one
reach out
but hold back
where is safety
reach out
and hold back
where is the one who can save me
where is the one
the one
the one

She tries to act happy around him, and the"act" is so convincingly that she can sometimes believe it, that she's happy the way it is.
A person that puts on an act, pretending to be perfectly happy with being alone but in solitude wishes for another to connect with.
"I need not to need, I've always been the towrer"
Saying that she shouldn't want this, she needs to be stronger, but she can't stop wanting it.
I love this song because I'm the one who usually deals with my friends problems, and even though I currently don't have to deal with anything, if anything dramatic does ever happen to me, I have a feeling this song describes it perfectly. Beautifully written and performed.

Not sure the song gives any answers...probably because the person this woman is looking for is thinking the same thoughts. The friend and the foe is that guy/gal reaching out and holding back.
