[Verse 1]
She closed the door
She hides behind the face nobody knows
She feels her skin touch the floor
She wants to fight
Her eyes are tired, nobody's on her side
She wants to feel like she did before

[Pre-Chorus]
She looks into her mirror
Wishing someone could hear her, so loud
And I need love
To hold me closer in the night
Just enough

[Chorus]
I need love
To hold me closer in the night
Just enough to feel my body come alive
When my bones start breaking, my heart starts shaking
I need love, need love

[Verse 2]
The coffee's cold
He turned around and said "I hope you know
You're beautiful, have you ever been told?"
She's a little shy
As he walks away, she slowly breaks a smile
The skies are blue, haven't been for a while

[Pre-Chorus]
She looks into her mirror
Wishing someone could hear her, so loud

[Chorus]
I need love
To hold me closer in the night
Just enough to feel my body come alive
When my bones starts breaking, my heart starts shaking
I need love, need love

[Bridge]
Oh, oh woah
Oh, oh woah
She closed the door
She hides behind the face nobody knows
She feels her skin touch the floor

[Chorus]
I need love
To hold me closer in the night
Just enough to feel my body come alive
When my bones starts breaking, my heart starts shaking
I need love, need love
Oh, oh woa
Oh, oh woa

Niall Horan

Niall James Horan (born September 13th, 1993) is an Irish singer-songwriter, musician, and founder of Modest! Golf Management company. He auditioned on The X Factor at 16 years of age as a solo act and he came to worldwide prominence when he and four other boys were joined together to form pop boy band One Direction, which became one of the biggest boy bands in the world. Since the band’s hiatus in 2015, Horan has released two solo albums, has collaborated with the likes of Maren Morris, Julia Michaels and Ashe and has created a track for animated comedy film Smallfoot.

In September 2016, it was revealed that Niall had signed a solo contract with Capitol Records.

Following this news, Horan released his debut solo single “This Town”, becoming the first One Direction member to release solo music. “This Town” showcases his songwriting skills and vocals, as Horan strips everything down to him and his guitar. In support of the single, he also uploaded a one-take acoustic version of the single. The song peaked at No. 20 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart on January 14th, 2017.
